BBC Studios Lines Up New Bluey Short-Form Series

BBC Studios and the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) have co-commissioned four new Bluey short-form series inspired by core themes from the hit children’s show.

Bluey Tunes, Bluey Puppets, Bluey Cookalongs and Bluey Fancy Restaurant will air on ABC iview in Australia; Disney Jr., Disney Channel and Disney Jr. On Demand in the U.S.; and Disney+ globally. They will also be available on the official Bluey channel on YouTube, as well as the Disney Jr. YouTube channel.

Bluey Tunes, made up of ten one- to two-minute episodes, allows families to sing and dace along to music videos set to top tracks from Bluey.

Bluey Puppets shows viewers how to create some of their favorite characters from Bluey as puppets. Each episode, three to five minutes in length, includes a downloadable craft sheet.

Bluey Cookalongs and Bluey Fancy Restaurant tie in to BBC Studios’ 2025 Bluey brand theme: Let’s Play Chef. Bluey Cookalongs sees kids take the lead in the kitchen as they try to re-create recipes from Bluey. Bluey Fancy Restaurant, filmed across Australia, invites kids to re-create Bluey and Bingo’s Fancy Restaurant at home for their own parents. Each five- to eight-minute episode features real families.

All four short-form series are co-produced by BBC Studios Digital Brands, BBC Studios Kids & Family and ABC, alongside various production partners. Bluey Tunes is produced alongside A+C Studios and Insignificant TV, Bluey Puppets is produced with Simple Mischief and both Bluey Cookalongs and Bluey Fancy Restaurant are produced alongside Taste Creative.

“We’re excited to launch these four new short-form series that not only expand the world of Bluey but also deepen the ways fans can engage with it,” said Jasmine Dawson, senior VP of digital at BBC Studios. “Our strategy is all about putting fandom at the heart of everything we do by creating a variety of content that invites participation, sparks creativity and brings families together. Whether it’s dancing, crafting or cooking, these series are designed to celebrate the joy and play that Bluey inspires in fans around the world.”

“BBC Studios Kids & Family is delighted to be co-commissioning more short-form series with BBC Studios Digital Brands team and ABC that will be shared across the globe through our partners at Disney,” commented Cecilia Persson, managing director of BBC Studios Kids & Family. “Together, we’re creating and delivering stories to reflect how kids discover and interact with content they love. These short-form series have been shaped to not only extend the Bluey universe but to invite exploration and engagement across different platforms.”

Mary-Ellen Mullane, acting head of children and family at ABC, added, “We’re thrilled to continue collaborating with the team at BBC Studios and Ludo Studio to deliver fans even more from the world of Bluey. We’re incredibly proud to be the home of Bluey in Australia and look forward to delivering this creative collection of content to ABC audiences soon.”
