What a fantastic year it has been for Bluey, the charming Australian animated series showcasing the Heeler dog family’s delightful escapades. Although the latest full-length episode aired in 2024 with the season three finale, “The Sign,” and its follow-up, “Surprise,” along with several mini-episodes, the franchise distributed by the BBC and Disney+ continues to reign supreme in viewership charts, endearing itself to fans both young and old.
Bluey is on track to potentially reclaim its title as the most streamed show of the year, having achieved the number one position on the Nielsen streaming charts back in 2024. As fans eagerly anticipate the upcoming feature film set to be released in 2027, the show’s diverse fan base continues to grow. This speaks volumes about the cultural impact of this delightful series, which resonates with families and adults alike, delivering heartfelt and imaginative tales of childhood. Whether or not you have children, the nostalgia of simpler times—when life felt carefree—makes Bluey relatable for everyone.
As a parent who fell in love with Bluey before starting a family, I now find it a comforting companion in the journey of parenthood. Like many parents, I stay updated on the latest news about Bluey, especially as we look forward to Bluey: The Movie hitting theaters in August 2027.
Will there be new Bluey episodes on TV?
Currently, outside of streaming options like Disney+ and the official Bluey YouTube channel, there are no announcements regarding new mini-episodes or additional seasons being released before the debut of Bluey: The Movie. Unfortunately, fans might have to wait over a year for new full-length content, as showrunner and creator Joe Brumm and the Bluey team are fully focused on the film. In a letter shared in 2024, Brumm confirmed that this feature would mark his final contribution to the beloved series, though he reassured fans that Bluey would carry on beyond his tenure.
If you’re looking for a Bluey fix sooner, check out the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. If you missed it live on NBC (which aired on November 27), you can still catch all the excitement on Peacock, where you will spot Bluey among the colorful balloons soaring above New York City.
Where can you meet Bluey?
If you’re eager to meet Bluey and Bingo in person, the best bet for fans in the U.S. is the immersive family experience at CAMP. Their flagship store in New York and locations in Boston, Houston, Miami, Minneapolis, and Philadelphia have exclusive rights to hold meet-and-greet sessions with the characters, where families can visit the iconic Heeler house and reenact their favorite moments from the show. This holiday season, except for the locations in Minneapolis and Miami, visitors will enjoy a unique experience complete with seasonal games inspired by the “Verandah Santa” episode, ornament crafting, and storytelling featuring Unicorse.
If your travel plans include a trip to Australia this winter, visiting Bluey’s World in Brisbane, Queensland, is a must. It’s a delightful, walkable amusement park designed to immerse you in the enchanting animated universe. Similar to Ghibli Park in Japan, this destination focuses more on play and games than rides, offering a prime opportunity to meet Bluey, Bingo, and Muffin during special events.
For those craving a thrill, the UK’s Alton Towers Resort is set to unveil the world’s first Bluey roller coaster in the spring of 2026 as part of CBeebies Land, adding to an array of Bluey themed experiences, including a stage show and highly interactive family meet and greets, along with super fun themed hotel rooms.
In a notable update from Disney Parks and Experiences, Josh D’Amaro announced last year that Bluey would be making its way to Disney Experiences in 2025. However, as of November, fans are still waiting for their arrival at Disneyland and Walt Disney World, though select appearances on Australian and New Zealand Disney Cruises were scheduled to commence in October
Wouldn’t it be a blast to meet Bluey, Bingo, and Muffin in the delightful Grannies’ costumes? Just imagine a Bluey themed overlay on Disneyland’s Autopia or Walt Disney World’s Tomorrowland Speedway, complete with characters cruising around in their granny-mobiles, all set to the enjoyable soundtrack from those episodes.
What’s new with Bluey games and merchandise?
The holiday season calls for a discussion about exciting merchandise for collectors and fans of all ages. However, it’s worth mentioning that Australia tends to have exclusive, fantastic offerings, like the official Hammerbarn collaboration with Bunnings, the hardware store that inspired it.
As a dedicated film buff who loves collecting unique items, I’m left envious of the Dog Gnome featured in the show. I’m not interested in another inflatable or plastic mold—I need the Dog Gnome! Picture that last sentence in the most dramatic style possible. They also have long dog toys and Hammerbarn cosplay vests that are currently difficult to procure due to tariffs.
If you are a collector in the U.S., don’t miss out on the fifth birthday edition reissue of the Bluey vinyl available for Black Friday’s Record Store Day, complete with an incredible zoetrope of Fruit Bat Bluey in flight. For those seeking something easier to grab, consider the new holiday Christmas record, Verandah Santa, from Joff Bush and the Bluey music team, available at Walmart in a gold pressing.
Additionally, gamers can explore two new playable options within the Bluey universe that promise fun for the entire family. Bluey: Bust-a-Move offers an interactive, motion-powered multiplayer experience filled with mini-games based on favorite episodes. This release marks the second installment, following the success of Bluey: The Videogame for Nintendo Switch and PS5, released in 2023.
Coming soon is Bluey’s Quest for the Gold Pen, an all-ages game created in collaboration with Bluey creator Joe Brumm, the BBC, and Halfbrick Studios. Brumm himself has penned an engaging story for this adventure inspired by the episodes featuring Bluey and Bingo’s artistic quests. The game will launch globally on December 11, available first as an exclusive for iPhone, iPad, and Mac users, with a Google Play version arriving on January 10. By late 2026, Halfbrick and PM Studios will also roll out the game for PC, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
The happiness and excitement surrounding Bluey show no signs of slowing down. Whether you’re eager to catch up with episodes, meet the characters in person, or snag the latest merchandise, there’s always something delightful to explore.
