Bluey is an Australian animated TV show aimed at 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 narrative centers around Bluey, a lively six-year-old Blue Heeler puppy. She shares her life with her father Bandit, mother Chilli, and younger sister Bingo, embarking together on creative and imaginative escapades.[1] The characters represent different dog breeds, some modeled after dogs from Brumm's own childhood.[2] The series explores themes such as familial support, Australian cultural elements, and the significance of play.[1] Produced in Queensland, the show’s setting draws inspiration from Brisbane.[3] It was jointly commissioned by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and the British Broadcasting Corporation, with global distribution and merchandising managed by BBC Studios.[1] In 2019, international broadcast rights were secured by Disney.[4]
Since its launch, Bluey has broadcast a total of 154 episodes across three seasons, including holiday-themed specials such as Christmas ("Verandah Santa", "Christmas Swim"), Easter ("Easter"), and Father’s Day ("Perfect").[5][6][7][8] The third season featured an extended 28-minute episode titled "The Sign".[9] Furthermore, short "Minisodes" ranging from one to three minutes have been aired throughout 2024.[10] A feature film was announced in December 2024, slated for worldwide release in 2027,Cite error: Closing </ref> missing for <ref> tag |episodes=
