Co-commissioned with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, each ‘themed’ show will air on ABC iview, Disney Jr., Disney Channel and Disney+, and the Disney Jr. and Official Bluey channels on YouTube.
BBC Studios has announced the launch of four new Bluey short-form series, each inspired by core themes from the beloved show and reimagined in new formats: Bluey Tunes, Bluey Puppets, Bluey Cookalongs, and Bluey Fancy Restaurant.
Co-commissioned by BBC Studios and the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), all four series will air on ABC iview in Australia, Disney Jr., Disney Channel and Disney Jr. On Demand in the U.S. and Disney+ globally. They are also available for viewers to watch on the Official Bluey channel on YouTube, and soon on Disney Jr. YouTube.
Bluey Tunes kicked off the new lineup on the Official Bluey channel on YouTube. In the series, families can sing and dance along to music videos set to top tracks from the show in 10 bite-sized episodes which blend stop-motion, animation, and graphics.

Bluey Puppets is a craft series where viewers follow the creation of some of their favorite characters from Bluey. Each of the episodes includes a downloadable craft sheet so families can recreate the fun at home.
As part of BBC Studios’ 2025 Bluey brand theme, Let’s Play Chef, the two upcoming food-focused series Bluey Cookalongs and Bluey Fancy Restaurant celebrate mealtime fun, family togetherness, and laughter.
Bluey Cookalongs brings families together to recreate recipes inspired by beloved mealtime moments from Bluey. In the series, kids take the lead in the kitchen - often with hilarious results - while their parents do their best to keep things on track.
Bluey Fancy Restaurant invites kids to recreate Bluey and Bingo’s iconic Fancy Restaurant at home for their parents, each with their own unique take. The series features real families as kids whip up some culinary creations in the kitchen and guide their grownups through a playful, romantic dining experience.
The new series are co-produced by BBC Studios Digital Brands and BBC Studios Kids & Family, ABC, alongside production partners.
“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, SVP Digital, 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,” said 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.”
