As excitement builds for an upcoming movie, Bluey continues to reign as the top-streamed show in the United States, even while the series has been on hiatus since early 2024. This phenomenon highlights the show’s incredible appeal and unwavering popularity.
According to the latest Nielsen streaming charts, Bluey once again secured its position as America’s favorite show for the first half of 2025, accumulating an astonishing 25 billion minutes of viewing time from January to June. This is particularly remarkable considering its competitors typically boast far more episodes and longer runtimes, while a typical Bluey episode lasts roughly 7 minutes. Clearly, the audience is not just watching; they are rewatching enthusiastically!
It’s equally intriguing that Bluey took this unexpected hiatus at a significant peak of its global popularity—capturing not only the adoration of families but also childless adults drawn to its charm. The buzz continues to grow, further cementing its legendary status.
Bluey creator Joe Brumm stepped away from the show last year, leaving fans with two memorable episodes: “The Sign,” the series’ first 28-minute special, and “Surprise!”, a heartfelt send-off for the original team. While Brumm confirmed that Bluey will continue in his absence, his focus is currently on completing a feature film slated for release in 2027.
As a fan and a new mom, I can relate to the growing impatience among the fandom. Since the hiatus announcement last year, updates have been scarce. It remains unclear if we will see new mini-episodes or seasons after the film is released.
Even with our eagerness for more content, we understand the importance of quality over quantity. Ludo Studio, which co-produces Bluey for Disney and BBC, appears to be taking a deliberate approach to ensure the next installments are genuinely good, rather than hastily produced. Given the demand from fans, we can only imagine the pressure on big broadcasters to deliver while balancing the essence of the show.
Regardless of future updates, one thing is clear: viewers are more than happy to keep rewatching the Bluey episodes they already adore.
How did Bluey become so popular? The show combines heartfelt storytelling with relatable family dynamics, resonating with audiences across generations.
What is the total runtime of all Bluey episodes? While the exact total varies, with each episode around 7 minutes, the consistent quality keeps viewers coming back for more.
Will there be new episodes of Bluey after the movie? Although details remain scarce, Brumm has assured fans that the series will continue, ensuring the beloved characters will return post-movie.
When is the Bluey movie coming out? The anticipated feature film is set to premiere in 2027, much to the excitement of fans worldwide.
