Bluey is an Australian animated television 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 six-year-old Blue Heeler puppy celebrated for her boundless imagination, curiosity, and energy.[1] Bluey shares her home life with her father Bandit, mother Chilli, and younger sibling Bingo, who frequently participate in her creative play scenarios.[1][2] The cast includes various dog breeds, some inspired by pets from Brumm's own childhood.[2] The series highlights themes such as nurturing family relationships, Australian cultural elements, and the significance of play during early childhood.[1][3][4] Set and produced in Queensland, with Brisbane serving as the inspiration for its backdrop,[5] the show was jointly commissioned by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and the BBC, while BBC Studios manages international distribution and merchandising.[1] In 2019, The Walt Disney Company secured rights to broadcast the series globally.[6]

Since its launch, Bluey has released a total of 154 episodes over three seasons, including holiday-themed installments like Christmas ("Verandah Santa" and "Christmas Swim"), Easter ("Easter"), and Father's Day ("Perfect").[7][8][9][10] The third season introduced a special extended episode titled "The Sign" lasting 28 minutes.[11] In 2024, brief "Minisodes" ranging from one to three minutes were broadcast.[12][13] A feature-length film was announced in December 2024 with plans for a worldwide release in 2027,Cite error: The opening <ref> tag is malformed or has a bad name marking creator Brumm’s final writing contribution before his planned departure.Cite error: The opening <ref> tag is malformed or has a bad name

Director Richard Jeffery received the 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 gained nominations at the APRA Screen Music Awards for his work on "Teasing" (2019) and "Flat Pack" (2020).[16][17] 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 Several episodes have been adapted into picture books; notably, "The Beach" won both the Australian Book Industry Awards' Book of the Year and Children's Picture Book of the Year (Ages 0–6) in 2020.[18][19] Additionally, selected episodes have been issued on DVD within Australia through BBC Studios distribution.[20]
