A special extended episode of "Bluey" hits CBeebies and BBC iPlayer this Easter

The 28-minute special "Bluey" episode "The Sign" will land on CBeebies and BBC iPlayer on 18 April (Good Friday). Even more families across the UK will have the opportunity to enjoy this warm, heartfelt and extra-long episode of Bluey over the Easter weekend. 

In addition to the debut of "The Sign", 13 episodes of Bluey, new to CBeebies, will be available on CBeebies and BBC iPlayer from 7 April. These episodes include Ghostbasket and Surprise, which can be enjoyed alongside "The Sign" as part of a trilogy of Bluey episodes, with Ghostbasket going before it and Surprise after.

Written by Bluey creator and writer Joe Brumm, directed by Richard Jeffery, and produced by Ludo Studio, "The Sign" is full of life-changing and relatable moments, taking fans on an emotional rollercoaster. It has also won a Kidscreen Award in 2025 for Best One-Off, Special or TV Movie in Preschool Programming.

In the extended episode, the Heeler family home is up for sale and Bluey’s unhappy. But Bluey’s comforted when Calypso tells her a proverb about a farmer who trusts everything will turn out the way it’s meant to be. The next day, the Heeler home is prepping for Frisky’s wedding, but when it’s revealed Rad is planning a move out west after the wedding, Frisky runs away. Now Bluey has to experience her own farmer’s proverb.

The episode is jammed-packed with voice talent, including Dave McCormack and Melanie Zanetti as the voices of Dad (Bandit) and Mum (Chilli). Also returning are: Patrick Brammall as the voice of Uncle Rad; alongside Megan Washington as Calypso; Claudia O’Doherty as Frisky; Myf Warhurst as Trixie; and Rose Byrne as Brandy. Making their Bluey voice debut, this special episode also introduces Rove McManus, Deborah Mailman, Brendan Williams and Joel Edgerton.

Kate Morton, Senior Head of Commissioning for CBeebies, BBC Children’s and Education, considered it the perfect complement for enjoying Easter eggs with family: “We know how much little ones and their families all over the world love Bluey, and it’s important to us that everyone across the UK has the chance to watch this global sensation. That’s why we’re so proud that CBeebies is the UK home for 'Bluey'. The extended episode has already garnered so much positive acclaim and it’s the perfect Easter treat for families to watch together over Easter weekend maybe even with a chocolate egg or two," commented.
