Bluey is an Australian animated 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, an energetic six-year-old Blue Heeler puppy. She shares her life with her father, Bandit; mother, Chilli; and younger sibling, Bingo, who often accompanies her in imaginative play.[1] The characters represent different dog breeds, some of which are modeled after dogs from Brumm’s own childhood.[2] The series explores themes such as family bonding, Australian lifestyle, and the significance of playtime.[1] Produced in Queensland, the show’s setting draws inspiration from Brisbane.[3] It was co-commissioned by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and the British Broadcasting Corporation, with global distribution and merchandising rights managed by BBC Studios.[1] In 2019, international broadcast rights were secured by The Walt Disney Company.[4]

Since its launch, Bluey has released 154 episodes across three seasons, including special holiday-themed installments for Christmas ("Verandah Santa", "Christmas Swim"), Easter ("Easter"), and Father's Day ("Perfect"). The third season featured a unique 28-minute episode titled "The Sign".[5] In 2024, a series of brief "Minisodes" lasting one to three minutes were broadcast,[6] and a feature film was announced in December 2024, planned for global release in 2027. Following this film, creator Brumm intends to step away from the series.Cite error: The opening <ref> tag is malformed or has a bad name

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 (Children's).[7][8] Composer Joff Bush was nominated for APRA Screen Music Awards for his work on the episodes "Teasing" (2019) and "Flat Pack" (2020).[9][10] The episode titled "Cricket" attracted acclaim from sports journalists worldwide.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 transformed into picture books, including "The Beach," which 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.[11][12] Additionally, episodes have been made available on DVD in Australia through distribution by BBC Studios.[13]
