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 Ludo Studio, the narrative centers on Bluey, a lively six-year-old Blue Heeler puppy with a vivid imagination. She shares her home with her father Bandit, mother Chilli, and younger sister Bingo, who all participate in her creative play activities.[1] The characters depict a range of dog breeds, some of which are modeled after Brumm's own childhood pets.[2] The series highlights themes such as nurturing family relationships, Australian cultural elements, and the value of imaginative play.[1][3][4] Produced in Brisbane, the city also serves as the inspiration for the show's setting.[5] It was co-commissioned by both the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and the British Broadcasting Corporation, with BBC Studios handling its international distribution and merchandising rights.[1] In 2019, Disney secured the rights to broadcast the series internationally.[6]
Since its launch in 2018, Bluey has released 154 episodes spanning three seasons, which include special holiday-themed installments for Christmas, Easter, and Father's Day.[7][8][9][10] Season three features a unique 28-minute episode entitled "The Sign".[11] Furthermore, brief "Minisodes" ranging from one to three minutes have been broadcast throughout 2024.[12][13] A feature film was announced in December 2024, planned for global release in 2027; this production marks Brumm’s final writing contribution before his departure.Cite error: The opening <ref> tag is malformed or has a bad nameCite error: The opening <ref> tag is malformed or has a bad name
