The beloved Bluey is a global phenomenon, but where can fans find their favorite Heeler dog family this holiday season? It's been a year of anticipation since the last episode of this Australian animated series aired, and the wait for new content is almost over!
A Year of Bluey Fever
Despite the absence of new episodes since 2024, Bluey's popularity has only grown. The show, distributed by BBC and Disney+, dominated viewership charts and captured the hearts of fans worldwide. It's a pop culture juggernaut that appeals to both families and adults without children, thanks to its imaginative and heartfelt storytelling. Everyone can relate to Bluey and Bingo's adventures, sparking nostalgia for our carefree childhood days.
The Wait for New Adventures
As a parent and a fan, I eagerly await each update on Bluey's future. Here's what's in store for the franchise this holiday season and beyond:
TV and Streaming:
- Disney+ and the official Bluey YouTube channel are the go-to places for streaming, but there are no new minisodes or seasons announced before the movie release.
- The wait for full-length content is real, with showrunner Joe Brumm and Team Bluey focusing on the feature film, set to release on August 6, 2027.
- Brumm's letter in 2024 revealed his departure after the movie, but Bluey's adventures will continue.
- Catch Bluey at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade on NBC or stream it later on Peacock.
In-Person Experiences:
- The immersive retailer CAMP offers the only stateside meet-and-greet with Bluey and Bingo, with locations in New York, Boston, Houston, Miami, Minneapolis, and Philadelphia.
- This Christmas, families can enjoy a new experience inspired by the 'Verandah Santa' episode, complete with games, crafts, and storytime interruptions by Unicorse.
- Australian fans can visit Bluey's World in Brisbane, Queensland, for a walkable amusement park experience.
- For those seeking rides, the UK's Alton Towers Resort will open the world's first Bluey coaster in spring 2026, joining other Bluey offerings at CBeebies Land.
Disney Parks and Experiences:
- Bluey was expected to arrive at Disney Experiences in 2025, but there's no news on when Bluey and Bingo will appear at Disneyland and Walt Disney World.
- Disney Cruises in Australia and New Zealand have scheduled appearances starting in October 2025, but the wait continues for theme park experiences.
Games and Merchandise:
- Australia gets the coolest merch, like the official Hammerbarn collab with Bunnings, the hardware store that inspired it.
- Collectors and fans alike will appreciate the limited-edition Bluey vinyl with a Fruit Bat Bluey zoetrope, available on Black Friday's Record Store Day.
- A new holiday record, 'Verandah Santa', by Joff Bush and the Bluey Music Team, is a must-have for fans.
- Gamers can enjoy 'Bluey: Bust-a-Move', an interactive multiplayer game, and look forward to 'Bluey's Quest for the Gold Pen', an all-ages game made in collaboration with Joe Brumm, the BBC, and Halfbrick Studios.
And there you have it! Bluey's world is expanding, and fans can look forward to new adventures and experiences.
