Disney+ plans to add new "Bluey" episodes in the UK and Ireland

BBC Studios confirmed that ten new episodes from popular animated series "Bluey" are scheduled to become available on Disney+ in the UK and Ireland, and around the world on Wednesday, 12 July. “Fans have been keenly anticipating more Bluey, and we’re excited to share these new stories with them” said Henrietta Hurford-Jones, Commissioner & Executive Producer of Bluey for BBC Studios Kids & Family. “We’re so happy at how our audiences have taken Bluey to their hearts! These episodes will not disappoint families, with episodes such as the excellent ‘Tradies’ and others. And viewers will love the return of the Grannies in Granny Mobile.”

The new episodes include cameos from well-known Bluey fans, including Lin-Manuel Miranda, who appears as a talking horse in the episode “Stories,” and Rose Byrne, who plays Chilli’s sister Brandy in “Onesies.” Jointly commissioned by BBC Studios Kids & Family and ABC Children’s, "Bluey" is produced by multi-Emmy® Award-winning Ludo Studio in association with Screen Queensland and Screen Australia. The series is distributed internationally by BBC Studios Kids & Family outside Australia.

BBC Studios Kids & Family has a global broadcast deal with Disney for "Bluey" in all territories outside Australia, New Zealand, and China. Episodes from the third season of Bluey are streaming on Disney+, and available on Disney Channel and Disney Junior, with more episodes from season three still to come. CBeebies is the second window broadcaster partner for Bluey in the UK. Series 1-2 are currently available on BBC iPlayer, and air daily on CBeebies. In Ireland, Bluey airs on RTÉjr and is also available via RTÉ Player.

Created and written by Joe Brumm and produced by the multiple Emmy® Award-winning Ludo Studio for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and BBC Studios Kids & Family, "Bluey" follows the adventures of a lovable and inexhaustible Blue Heeler puppy who lives with her Dad, Mum and little sister, Bingo. It showcases the joyful simplicity that can be found in families, by bringing to life how children learn and grow through play.

The series has enjoyed acclaim internationally, recently winning a 2023 Kidscreen Award for Best Animated Series, Preschool, 2022 BAFTA Children & Young People Award in the International category and picking up its fourth consecutive AACTA Best Children’s Programme award. These newest honors add to an International Emmy® and numerous other awards for craft and production around the world.
