Bluey is an Australian animated television program 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 series centers on Bluey, a lively six-year-old Blue Heeler puppy celebrated for her boundless imagination, curiosity, and energy.[1] Bluey shares her home with her father Bandit, mother Chilli, and younger sister Bingo, who often accompanies her on creative adventures.[1] The cast includes various dog breeds, some modeled after Brumm's own childhood pets.[2] The show explores themes such as nurturing family relationships, Australian cultural elements, and the value of imaginative play.[1][3][4] Produced in Queensland with Brisbane serving as a source of inspiration,[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 Disney secured international broadcast rights in 2019.[6]

Since its launch, Bluey has released 154 episodes over three seasons, including 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 also introduced a unique 28-minute episode titled "The Sign."[11] In 2024, brief "Minisodes" ranging from one to three minutes were broadcast,[12][13] and a feature film was announced for global release in 2027,[14] marking creator Brumm's final credited writing work before his departure.[15]

Director Richard Jeffery earned an Australian Directors' Guild Award in 2021 for the episode "Sleepytime," which also received the 2022 Prix Jeunesse International Award for TV – Up to 6 Years Fiction.[16][17] Composer Joff Bush was nominated for APRA Screen Music Awards for the episodes "Teasing" (2019) and "Flat Pack" (2020).[18][19] The episode "Cricket" attracted significant praise within sports media circles.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 for Book of the Year and Children's Picture Book of the Year (Ages 0–6) in 2020.[20][21] Additionally, selected episodes have been made available on DVD in Australia through BBC Studios.[22]
