Bluey is an Australian animated television program designed for preschool audiences, which 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 and imaginative six-year-old Blue Heeler puppy. She shares her home with her father Bandit, mother Chilli, and younger sister Bingo, who frequently participate in her creative play scenarios.[1] The characters portray a variety of dog breeds, some modeled after Brumm's own childhood pets.[2] The series highlights themes such as nurturing family relationships, Australian cultural elements, and the importance of imaginative play.[1][3][4] Production takes place in Queensland, with Brisbane serving as the show's backdrop.[5] The program was jointly commissioned by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and the British Broadcasting Corporation, while BBC Studios manages its international distribution and merchandising rights.[1] In 2019, The Walt Disney Company secured the rights for global broadcast.[6]

Since its launch, Bluey has released a total of 154 episodes over three seasons, including special holiday-themed installments such as "Verandah Santa" and "Christmas Swim" (Christmas), "Easter," and "Perfect" (Father's Day). The third season introduced a unique 28-minute episode entitled "The Sign."[7] In 2024, a collection of short "Minisodes," ranging from one to three minutes each, was made available.[8][9] Additionally, a feature-length film was announced in December 2024, targeting a worldwide release in 2027. This project marks Brumm's final credited writing role before his planned departure.Cite error: The opening <ref> tag is malformed or has a bad name

In 2021, director Richard Jeffery earned an Australian Directors' Guild Award for the episode "Sleepytime," which also received the 2022 Prix Jeunesse International Award for TV – Up to 6 Years Fiction (Children's).[10][11] Composer Joff Bush was nominated for APRA Screen Music Awards for his work on "Teasing" (2019) and "Flat Pack" (2020).[12][13] The episode "Cricket" attracted positive attention from sports-related 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 Selected episodes have been adapted into illustrated 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.[14][15] The series is also available on DVD within Australia through distribution by BBC Studios.[16]
