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 six-year-old Blue Heeler puppy celebrated for her boundless imagination, curiosity, and energy. She shares her home with her father, Bandit; mother, Chilli; and younger sibling, Bingo, who frequently participates in her creative play scenarios.[1] The supporting cast consists of various dog breeds, some reflecting Brumm's own childhood pets.[2] Key themes explored in the series include nurturing family relationships, elements of Australian culture, and the critical role of play in early childhood development.[1][3][4] Produced in Queensland, the show's setting draws inspiration from Brisbane.[5] The project was jointly commissioned by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and the British Broadcasting Corporation, with global distribution and merchandising managed by BBC Studios.[1] In 2019, international broadcast rights were secured by Disney.[6]

Since its launch, Bluey has broadcast a total of 154 episodes spanning three seasons, including special holiday-themed installments for Christmas ("Verandah Santa" and "Christmas Swim"), Easter ("Easter"), and Father's Day ("Perfect").[7][8][9][10] The third season introduced a unique 28-minute episode titled "The Sign."[11] In 2024, brief "Minisodes" ranging from one to three minutes were released.[12][13] A feature film was announced in December 2024 for a global release scheduled in 2027,Cite error: The opening <ref> tag is malformed or has a bad name with Brumm confirming this will mark his final contribution as writer before stepping away.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 (Children's).[14][15] Composer Joff Bush was nominated for APRA Screen Music Awards for his work on episodes "Teasing" (2019) and "Flat Pack" (2020).[16][17] The episode "Cricket" attracted significant attention within sports media circles.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, notably "The Beach," which secured 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, DVD collections of episodes are available throughout Australia via BBC Studios distribution.[20]
