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 creative six-year-old Blue Heeler puppy. She shares her home with her dad, Bandit; mom, Chilli; and younger sibling, Bingo, who frequently participate in her imaginative adventures.[1][2] The characters are modeled after various dog breeds, some of which are inspired by Brumm’s own childhood pets.[2] Core themes explore nurturing family relationships, Australian lifestyle, and the significance of play.[1][3][4] The series is produced in Queensland, with Brisbane serving as the creative muse for its setting.[5] It was jointly commissioned by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and the British Broadcasting Corporation, while BBC Studios manages global distribution and merchandise rights.[1] In 2019, international broadcast rights were secured by Disney.[6]

Since its launch, Bluey has released 154 episodes across three seasons, including special holiday-themed installments such as Christmas ("Verandah Santa" and "Christmas Swim"), Easter ("Easter"), and Father’s Day ("Perfect").[7][8][9][10] Season three included a unique 28-minute episode entitled "The Sign".[11] In 2024, brief "Minisodes" ranging from one to three minutes were introduced.[12][13] A feature film was announced in December 2024, slated for a global release in 2027,Cite error: The opening <ref> tag is malformed or has a bad name with Brumm confirming this will be his final writing contribution before retiring from the role.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 subsequently won the 2022 Prix Jeunesse International Award for TV – Up to 6 Years Fiction.[14][15] Composer Joff Bush received nominations at the APRA Screen Music Awards for his work on "Teasing" (2019) and "Flat Pack" (2020).[16][17] The episode "Cricket" garnered positive attention 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 transformed into picture 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.[18][19] Additionally, selected episodes have been made available on DVD in Australia through BBC Studios.[20]
