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 six-year-old Blue Heeler puppy characterized by her boundless energy, vivid imagination, and inquisitive nature. She shares her home with her father, Bandit; mother, Chilli; and younger sibling, Bingo, who frequently accompanies Bluey on creative escapades.[1] The supporting cast features a variety of dog breeds, some modeled after pets from Brumm’s own childhood.[2] The series highlights a nurturing family setting, showcases Australian cultural elements, and underscores the significance of imaginative play during early childhood.[1][3][4] Produced in Queensland with Brisbane serving as the backdrop,[5] it was jointly commissioned by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and the BBC.[1] Global distribution and merchandising rights are managed by BBC Studios,[1] while international broadcast rights were secured by The Walt Disney Company in 2019.[6]

Since its launch in 2018, Bluey has released 154 episodes distributed over three seasons. The series features special themed installments such as Christmas ("Verandah Santa" and "Christmas Swim"), Easter ("Easter"), and Father’s Day ("Perfect"),[7] alongside a unique 28-minute episode titled "The Sign."[8] In 2024, brief one-to-three minute "Minisodes" were introduced,[9][10] and a feature film was announced in December 2024, planned for a global release in 2027.Cite error: The opening <ref> tag is malformed or has a bad name Creator Joe Brumm will conclude his involvement following this film, marking his final writing contribution.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.[11][12] Composer Joff Bush garnered nominations at the APRA Screen Music Awards for his work on "Teasing" (2019) and "Flat Pack" (2020).[13][14] The episode "Cricket" attracted praise from sports journalists around the world.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 2020 Australian Book Industry Awards for Book of the Year and Children's Picture Book of the Year (Ages 0–6).[15][16] Additionally, episodes are available on DVD within Australia through BBC Studios’ distribution.[17]
