What’s Next for Bluey? Latest Updates and Exciting Developments

It’s hard to believe that a year has passed since Bluey wrapped up its latest season. While it wasn’t intended to serve as a series finale, it certainly had that feeling to it. Creator Joe Brumm has announced his departure from the show, but reassured fans that Bluey will continue. Nevertheless, the future seems somewhat uncertain.

Fans have been treated to mini-sodes that offer just a glimpse into the lives of the Heelers and their friends. However, the anticipation for new episodes is starting to feel like it might stretch until the highly-anticipated Bluey film, which Brumm will be directing as his swan song for this beloved family franchise.

Disney+ and BBC One Collaboration

Despite the lull in episodes, fans are still hopeful for announcements regarding new content from Disney+ and BBC One. Both platforms appear eager to maintain their partnership with Ludo Studio. Recently, Disney made headlines by revealing plans for Bluey characters to appear on select Disney Cruises and various Disney Experiences at theme parks.

Exciting Bluey Merchandise: A Must-Have for Fans

The craze for Bluey merchandise continues unabated. BoxLunch has just launched a fashion line suitable for all ages, perfect for occasions like Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, or simply to celebrate being a fan of the show. The collection showcases meticulous attention to detail, ranging from apparel to home decor. One standout item is a charming pillow that features Bingo’s enduring advice!

Awaiting New Episodes: A Fan’s Perspective

While the wait for new episodes may lead to some impatience reminiscent of a Muffin Heeler-sized tantrum, fans can take solace in the news that “Burgerdog,” the earworm from a recent mini-sode, will be getting its own vinyl release. The musical elements are integral to what makes Bluey so special, and many parents who cherish their record collections will likely seek this release out.

Bluey in Concert: A Memorable Experience

The show’s music took center stage during “Bluey in Concert,” which was recently live-streamed, allowing fans far from Bluey’s World in Brisbane to participate. While it’s unclear if the children were simply short on energy or taking a nap, the audience was predominantly filled with adults, eager to indulge in this unique experience.

The evening was headlined by Joff Bush, the show’s composer. Although the concert’s runtime was brief, the 20 minutes transported me to a whimsical version of Bluey Coachella, rekindling childhood joys and memories of creek adventures. I even put on a blanket and some sunglasses to make my baby laugh while we enjoyed the Granny dance together!

The live stream added an extra layer of delight, featuring fans decked out as the Grannies for their theme song, and getting swept up in the fiery circle dance. Notably, Meg Washington, the voice behind Calypso, performed “Lazarus Drug,” a deeply emotional song from Bluey’s season finale “The Sign.” The performance resonated with the audience, many of whom were lost in the moment, reflecting on their own cherished memories.

Why Animation Matters: The Power of Storytelling
