Bluey, the beloved Australian children’s animated series, has become a massive hit, especially in the United States, where it has recently reached the milestone of 35 billion minutes streamed as of September 2024. Originally released in Australia in 2018, the show gained international popularity after joining Disney Plus, and it’s now set to make the leap from TV to the big screen.
A Bluey movie is officially in the works, with a release date set for 2027. The film will continue the adventures of Bluey, the energetic blue heeler dog, along with her family—her younger sister Bingo, and their parents. Creator Joe Brumm, who has been with the series since its inception, will return to write and direct the film. He expressed his excitement about expanding the show’s format into a feature film, calling it a natural progression from his experience with longer episodes like The Sign from Season 3. Brumm emphasized that the film will be designed as an “experiential event” for the whole family to enjoy together.
The voice cast from the TV series will also return for the movie, so fans can expect to hear the familiar voices of Bluey, Bingo, and their parents. While the film is still a few years away, anticipation is already building, especially as the show remains a favorite for both kids and parents.
In terms of the TV show, Bluey recently aired its third season in 2024, which could mark the end of Brumm’s involvement with the series. He has announced that he won’t be returning for a fourth season, with The Sign being his final episode as the series’ creator. While this leaves the future of Bluey on TV uncertain, the movie ensures that fans will still get to enjoy more of the lovable blue heeler and her family in the years to come. More details about the movie are expected to be shared as the release date approaches.
