Australian children’s series Bluey will launch on CBeebies in April 2021.

“Bluey is such a warm show, with a charming and recognisable family at its core, that we know our audience will take to their hearts. The animation from Ludo Studio is world-class, so we’re completely delighted to be the UK’s free-to-air home for Bluey”– Sarah Muller, Head of Commissioning and Acquisitions for BBC Children’s

CBeebies will be the first free-to-air platform in the UK to broadcast the series, which is backed by BBC Studios. Series one is scheduled to air on the channel every day.

Bluey is a multi-award-winning Australian children’s series that follows Bluey, a six-year-old Blue Heeler dog, who loves to play, and turns everyday family life into extraordinary adventures that unfold in unpredictable and hilarious ways, bringing her family, friends and community into her world of fun.

The series has won the hearts of kids and parents around the world since it first launched in Australia in October 2018.

“I’m delighted that we’re now able to reach a new audience here in the UK by bringing the show to CBeebies.” – Henrietta Hurford-Jones, Executive Producer for Bluey and Director of Children’s Content Partnerships at BBC Studios
