Bluey is an Australian animated show 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 around Bluey, a lively and imaginative six-year-old Blue Heeler puppy. She shares her life with her father, Bandit, mother Chilli, and her younger sister Bingo, who frequently participates in Bluey's creative play scenarios.[1] The characters represent various dog breeds inspired by Brumm's own childhood pets.[2] The series highlights themes such as nurturing family relationships, Australian cultural elements, and the importance of play during early childhood.[1][3][4] Created in Queensland with Brisbane serving as the visual backdrop,[5] it was jointly commissioned by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and the British Broadcasting Corporation.[1] Global distribution and merchandising rights are managed by BBC Studios,[1] while international broadcast rights were secured by The Walt Disney Company in 2019.[6]

Since its launch, Bluey has broadcast a total of 154 episodes across three seasons, including special themed editions such as Christmas ("Verandah Santa," "Christmas Swim"), Easter ("Easter"), and Father's Day ("Perfect").[7][8][9][10] The third season introduced a 28-minute special titled "The Sign."[11] In 2024, a collection of brief "Minisodes," ranging from one to three minutes each, was released.[12][13] Additionally, a feature film was announced in December 2024, slated for global release in 2027, marking Brumm's final writing contribution before his departure.Cite error: The opening <ref> tag is malformed or has a bad name

Director Richard Jeffery received an Australian Directors' Guild Award in 2021 for the episode "Sleepytime," which also earned the 2022 Prix Jeunesse International Award for TV – Up to 6 Years Fiction.[14][15] Composer Joff Bush earned nominations at the APRA Screen Music Awards for his work on "Teasing" (2019) and "Flat Pack" (2020).[16][17] The episode "Cricket" was commended by sports journalists worldwide.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 Some episodes have been transformed 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.[18][19] DVDs featuring episodes have been made available in Australia through distribution by BBC Studios.[20]
