Bluey is an Australian animated television 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, a lively six-year-old Blue Heeler puppy characterized by her boundless energy, creativity, and inquisitiveness.[1] Bluey shares her home life with her father, Bandit; her mother, Chilli; and her younger sibling, Bingo, who frequently participates in imaginative play alongside her.[1] The characters portray a variety of dog breeds, some of which were inspired by pets from Brumm’s own childhood.[2] The series highlights nurturing family relationships, Australian cultural elements, and the importance of play during early childhood.[1][3][4] Produced in Queensland and set in Brisbane,[5] Bluey was jointly commissioned by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and the BBC.[1] Global distribution and merchandise rights are managed by BBC Studios,[1] while international broadcast rights were secured by The Walt Disney Company in 2019.[6]

Since its premiere on 1 October 2018, Bluey has broadcast a total of 154 episodes spanning three seasons. The series features holiday-themed episodes such as Christmas ("Verandah Santa" and "Christmas Swim"), Easter ("Easter"), and Father's Day ("Perfect"),[7][8][9][10] alongside a special extended 28-minute installment titled "The Sign."[11] In 2024, brief "Minisodes" lasting one to three minutes were introduced.[12][13] A feature film announced in December 2024 is planned for global release in 2027,Cite error: The opening <ref> tag is malformed or has a bad name with Brumm confirming it will mark his final writing contribution before his departure.Cite error: The opening <ref> tag is malformed or has a bad name

Director Richard Jeffery earned the 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.[14][15] Composer Joff Bush was nominated for APRA Screen Music Awards for his work on "Teasing" (2019) and "Flat Pack" (2020).[16][17] The episode "Cricket" attracted positive attention 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 Certain episodes have been adapted into illustrated books, including "The Beach," which won the Australian Book Industry Awards for Book of the Year and Children's Picture Book of the Year (Ages 0–6) in 2020.[18][19] Additionally, episodes have been made available on DVD within Australia through BBC Studios distribution.[20]
