Bluey is an Australian animated program designed for preschool audiences that first aired on ABC Kids on 1 October 2018. Developed by Joe Brumm in collaboration with Queensland-based production company Ludo Studio, the narrative centers on Bluey, a lively and imaginative six-year-old Blue Heeler puppy. Bluey shares her daily life and creative escapades with her father, Bandit; mother, Chilli; and younger sibling, Bingo.[1] The characters are represented as various dog breeds, some of which are inspired by the creator’s own childhood pets.[2] The show emphasizes themes such as nurturing family relationships, Australian cultural elements, and the significance of play.[1][3][4] Produced in Queensland, the setting draws inspiration from Brisbane.[5] The series was co-commissioned by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and the British Broadcasting Corporation, with BBC Studios managing worldwide distribution and merchandising rights.[1] In 2019, international rights were secured by The Walt Disney Company.[6]

Since its premiere on 1 October 2018, Bluey has released a total of 154 episodes spanning three seasons. The series includes holiday-themed installments such as Christmas specials ("Verandah Santa," "Christmas Swim"), an Easter episode ("Easter"), and a Father's Day feature ("Perfect"). Season three contains a unique 28-minute special titled "The Sign."[7] Additionally, brief "Minisodes" lasting one to three minutes were broadcast throughout 2024.[8][9] A feature film adaptation was announced in December 2024, planned for global release in 2027,Cite error: The opening <ref> tag is malformed or has a bad name with Brumm confirming this will mark his final contribution as writer before he steps away.Cite error: The opening <ref> tag is malformed or has a bad name

Director Richard Jeffery earned an Australian Directors' Guild Award in 2021 for the episode "Sleepytime," which also received the 2022 Prix Jeunesse International Award for TV – Up to 6 Years Fiction.[10][11] Composer Joff Bush garnered nominations at the APRA Screen Music Awards for his work on "Teasing" (2019) and "Flat Pack" (2020).[12][13] The episode "Cricket" attracted significant recognition 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 Certain episodes have been adapted into illustrated books, including "The Beach," which won both the Australian Book Industry Awards for Book of the Year and Children's Picture Book of the Year (Ages 0–6) in 2020.[14][15] DVD releases of episodes have been made available in Australia through distribution by BBC Studios.[16]
