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, a lively and imaginative six-year-old Blue Heeler puppy. Bluey shares her home with her father, Bandit; mother, Chilli; and younger sibling, Bingo, who frequently participates in her creative play scenarios.[1] The characters depict various dog breeds, some of which are inspired by Brumm's own childhood pets.[2] The series emphasizes themes such as nurturing family relationships, Australian cultural elements, and the value of play during early childhood.[1][3][4] Produced in Queensland, the show's setting draws inspiration from Brisbane.[5] It was jointly commissioned by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and the British Broadcasting Corporation, with BBC Studios managing worldwide distribution and merchandising rights.[1] In 2019, The Walt Disney Company secured international broadcast rights.[6]
Since its launch in 2018, Bluey has released a total of 154 episodes spanning three seasons. The series features holiday-themed episodes including Christmas ("Verandah Santa," "Christmas Swim"), Easter ("Easter"), and Father's Day ("Perfect"). The third season includes a special extended episode lasting 28 minutes titled "The Sign."[7] In 2024, a collection of brief "Minisodes" ranging from one to three minutes was broadcast.[8][9] A full-length feature film was announced in December 2024, set for global release in 2027,[10] marking the final writing contribution from creator Joe Brumm before his departure.[11]
Director Richard Jeffery earned an Australian Directors' Guild Award in 2021 for the episode "Sleepytime," which also received the 2022 Prix Jeunesse International Award in the TV – Up to 6 Years Fiction (Children's) category.[12][13] Composer Joff Bush has been nominated multiple times for APRA Screen Music Awards for his work on episodes such as "Teasing" and "Flat Pack."[14][15] The episode "Cricket" attracted positive attention from sports media outlets.[16] Several episodes have been adapted into picture books; notably, "The Beach" won both the Australian Book Industry Awards' Book of the Year and Children's Picture Book of the Year (Ages 0–6) in 2020.[17][18] Additionally, episodes have been made available on DVD within Australia through BBC Studios.[19]
