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 production company Ludo Studio, the narrative centers on Bluey, a lively and creative six-year-old Blue Heeler puppy. She shares her life with her father, Bandit; mother, Chilli; and younger sibling, Bingo, who often accompanies her on imaginative escapades.[1] The supporting cast features a variety of dog breeds, some modeled after pets from Brumm's own childhood.[2] The series explores themes such as nurturing family relationships, elements of Australian culture, and the significance of play.[1][3][4] Produced in Queensland, the show's setting draws inspiration from Brisbane.[5] It was co-commissioned by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and the BBC, with global distribution and merchandising rights managed by BBC Studios.[1] In 2019, international broadcasting rights were secured by The Walt Disney Company.[6]

Since its launch in 2018, Bluey has released 154 episodes across three seasons. The series includes holiday-themed content such as Christmas specials in the first ("Verandah Santa") and second seasons ("Christmas Swim"),[7][8] an Easter-themed episode titled "Easter" in season two,[9] and a Father's Day installment called "Perfect" in the third season.[10] Additionally, season three featured a unique 28-minute episode named "The Sign".[11] Throughout 2024, brief "Minisodes" ranging from one to three minutes were broadcast.[12][13] A feature film was announced in December 2024, planned for global release in 2027; Brumm confirmed this project will mark his final writing contribution before stepping away.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 directing the episode "Sleepytime," which also secured the 2022 Prix Jeunesse International Award for TV – Up to 6 Years Fiction (Children's).[14][15] Composer Joff Bush received APRA Screen Music Awards nominations for his work on "Teasing" (2019) and "Flat Pack" (2020).[16][17] The episode "Cricket" garnered significant acclaim from sports 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 Several episodes have been adapted into picture 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.[18][19] DVD releases of episodes are available in Australia through distribution by BBC Studios.[20]
