Bluey is an Australian animated show 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 imaginative six-year-old Blue Heeler puppy. She shares her home with her father, Bandit; mother, Chilli; and younger sibling, Bingo, who often accompanies her on creative escapades.[1] The cast features a variety of dog breeds, some modeled after Brumm's own childhood pets.[2] Core themes encompass nurturing family relationships, Australian cultural elements, and the value of imaginative play.[1][3][4] Production takes place in Queensland, with Brisbane serving as the inspiration for the show's setting.[5] The series was co-commissioned by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and the BBC, while BBC Studios manages worldwide distribution and merchandising rights.[1] In 2019, international broadcasting rights were secured by The Walt Disney Company.[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"). The third season also introduced a distinctive 28-minute episode titled "The Sign."[7] In 2024, a series of brief "Minisodes," lasting one to three minutes each, was made available.[8][9] A feature film was announced in December 2024, planned for global release in 2027. Creator Brumm confirmed this project will mark his final writing contribution before stepping down.Cite error: The opening <ref> tag is malformed or has a bad name

In 2021, director Richard Jeffery received an Australian Directors' Guild Award for the episode "Sleepytime," which subsequently won the 2022 Prix Jeunesse International Award in the TV – Up to 6 Years Fiction (Children's) category.[10][11] Composer Joff Bush earned nominations for the APRA Screen Music Awards for his work on episodes "Teasing" (2019) and "Flat Pack" (2020).[12][13] The episode "Cricket" received commendations 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 Some episodes have been adapted into illustrated books, including "The Beach," which secured 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] DVD releases of episodes are available in Australia through BBC Studios distribution.[16]
