Bluey is an Australian animated TV show designed for preschool audiences, which first aired on ABC Kids on 1 October 2018. Developed by Joe Brumm in collaboration with Queensland-based production company Ludo Studio, the series centers on Bluey, a lively six-year-old Blue Heeler puppy celebrated for her boundless imagination, curiosity, and energy.[1] Bluey’s family includes her father Bandit, mother Chilli, and younger sister Bingo, who frequently participates in their imaginative play.[1] The cast features a variety of dog breeds, some inspired by Brumm’s own childhood pets.[2] Core themes encompass a nurturing family environment, Australian cultural elements, and the significance of play.[1][3][4] Set in Queensland with Brisbane serving as creative inspiration,[5] the series is co-commissioned by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and the British Broadcasting Corporation.[1] BBC Studios manages global distribution and merchandising rights,[1] while Disney secured international broadcast rights in 2019.[6]

Since its premiere on 1 October 2018, Bluey has released 154 episodes spanning three seasons. The show includes special holiday-themed installments such as Christmas ("Verandah Santa" and "Christmas Swim"), Easter ("Easter"), and Father's Day ("Perfect").[7][8][9][10] The third season features a unique 28-minute episode titled "The Sign".[11] Additionally, brief "Minisodes" ranging from one to three minutes have been broadcast throughout 2024.[12][13] A feature-length film was announced in December 2024 with a planned global release in 2027,Cite error: The opening <ref> tag is malformed or has a bad name and Brumm has confirmed this will mark his final writing contribution before his departure.Cite error: The opening <ref> tag is malformed or has a bad name
