Bluey is an Australian animated program designed for preschool audiences that first aired on ABC Kids on 1 October 2018. The series was developed by Joe Brumm in collaboration with Queensland-based production company Ludo Studio. It centers on Bluey, a lively and imaginative six-year-old Blue Heeler puppy, whose curiosity drives the storyline.[1] Bluey shares her home with her father, Bandit; mother, Chilli; and younger sibling, Bingo, who frequently participate in her creative adventures.[1] Additional characters represent various dog breeds modeled after Brumm's own childhood pets.[2] The show explores themes such as nurturing family relationships, Australian cultural elements, and the value of play.[1][3][4] Produced in Queensland, Brisbane serves as the inspiration for the show's setting.[5] The series was jointly commissioned by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and the British Broadcasting Corporation, with BBC Studios managing worldwide distribution and merchandising rights.[1] In 2019, international broadcast rights were secured by The Walt Disney Company.[6]

Since its launch, Bluey has released a total of 154 episodes spanning three seasons. The series includes special holiday-themed episodes such as Christmas ("Verandah Santa" and "Christmas Swim"), Easter ("Easter"), and Father's Day ("Perfect").[7][8][9][10] Season three featured a notable extended episode titled "The Sign," which runs for 28 minutes.[11] In 2024, brief "Minisodes" ranging from one to three minutes in length were introduced.[12][13] A feature film was announced in December 2024, planned for global release in 2027, with Brumm confirming it will mark his final writing contribution before stepping aside.Cite error: The opening <ref> tag is malformed or has a bad name

In 2021, director Richard Jeffery earned an Australian Directors' Guild Award for the episode "Sleepytime," which also received the 2022 Prix Jeunesse International Award for TV – Up to 6 Years Fiction (Children's).[14][15] Composer Joff Bush has been nominated for APRA Screen Music Awards for his work on episodes like "Teasing" (2019) and "Flat Pack" (2020).[16][17] The episode "Cricket" attracted significant acclaim from sports media outlets.Cite error: The opening <ref> tag is malformed or has a bad nameCite error: The opening <ref> tag is malformed or has a bad nameCite error: The opening <ref> tag is malformed or has a bad name Several episodes have been adapted into picture books; notably, "The Beach" won both the Australian Book Industry Awards' Book of the Year and Children's Picture Book of the Year (Ages 0–6) in 2020.[18][19] Additionally, episodes have been made available on DVD within Australia through distribution by BBC Studios.[20]
