Bluey is an Australian animated television series aimed at preschool audiences, which first aired on ABC Kids on 1 October 2018. Developed by Joe Brumm in collaboration with Queensland's Ludo Studio, the narrative follows Bluey, a lively and imaginative six-year-old Blue Heeler puppy. She shares her home with her dad, Bandit; her mom, Chilli; and her younger sibling, Bingo, who frequently participates in Bluey’s creative play scenarios.[1] The characters portray a variety of dog breeds, some modeled after Brumm's own pets from childhood.[2] The series emphasizes themes such as nurturing family relationships, Australian cultural elements, and the vital role of play during early childhood.[1][3][4] Produced in Brisbane, Queensland, the show’s environment mirrors this city.[5] The production 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 154 episodes spanning three seasons. The series includes holiday-themed installments such as Christmas ("Verandah Santa" and "Christmas Swim"), Easter ("Easter"), and Father's Day ("Perfect"). The third season features a unique 28-minute special entitled "The Sign."[7] In 2024, a collection of brief "Minisodes," ranging from one to three minutes in length, was introduced.[8][9] A feature film was announced in December 2024, planned for global release in 2027; Brumm has confirmed this will be his final writing project before stepping back.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 in the TV – Up to 6 Years Fiction category (Children's).[10][11] Composer Joff Bush was nominated for APRA Screen Music Awards for his work on "Teasing" (2019) and "Flat Pack" (2020).[12][13] The episode "Cricket" earned acclaim from sports media due to its realistic depiction of backyard cricket.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

Multiple episodes have been adapted 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.[14][15] Additionally, Bluey episodes have been made available on DVD in Australia through distribution by BBC Studios.[16]
