Bluey is an Australian animated program designed for preschool-aged children 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 six-year-old Blue Heeler puppy. She shares her home with her father, Bandit; mother, Chilli; and younger sibling, Bingo, who all participate in her imaginative escapades.[1] The cast features various dog breeds, some modeled after Brumm's own pets from childhood.[2] Core themes explore nurturing family relationships, Australian cultural elements, and the significance of play during early childhood.[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 global distribution and merchandising managed by BBC Studios.[1] In 2019, international broadcasting rights were secured by The Walt Disney Company.[6]

Since its launch, Bluey has broadcast 154 episodes over three seasons. It includes special holiday-themed installments such as Christmas ("Verandah Santa" and "Christmas Swim"), Easter ("Easter"), Father's Day ("Perfect"), along with an extended 28-minute episode titled "The Sign".[7] In 2024, brief "Minisodes" ranging from one to three minutes were introduced.[8][9] A feature film was announced in December 2024, planned for global release in 2027, marking Brumm's final contribution as writer before his departure.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 APRA Screen Music Award nominations for the episodes "Teasing" (2019) and "Flat Pack" (2020).[12][13] The episode "Cricket" attracted commendation 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 picture books, including "The Beach," which won both Book of the Year and Children's Picture Book of the Year (Ages 0–6) at the 2020 Australian Book Industry Awards.[14][15] Additionally, episodes are available on DVD in Australia through BBC Studios.[16]
