Big Bluey secret ABC Kids will never reveal

Bluey is a massive hit, both at home and overseas, but producers have revealed there’s one big secret they will never reveal.

They’re one of the most popular animated characters on TV right now, but fans have been warned that they will never know who voices Bluey’s much-loved pups.

According to actress Melanie Zanetti, who plays Bluey’s mum Chilli, the production crew has always agreed to keep the stars behind Bluey and Bingo a secret in order to protect their identity.

Fans will never know who plays Bluey and Bingo

If your family has binged the much-loved ABC Kids program way too many times – and perhaps even made your way through the recently-dropped third season – you’ll notice the end credits include all characters but the little ones.

And there’s a good reason why.

“All the children on the show are members of the family of people in production. I am so glad that the creatives on the show decided that no one would be in the credits to protect the young cast,” Melanie told Kidspot.

While they were unsure at the time of how successful the cartoon would become, Melanie says she is grateful to the creative team for thinking ahead about protecting their young cast – especially given how popular the show now is abroad.

“I think that was so clever and I’m so happy that, not knowing how big the show would be, they had the foresight to do it.

“In the long term, I think that protecting young people is so important in this industry.”

“You read so many things about things that have happened to people who were in this industry so early and I am so grateful to the Bluey creatives for being so wise in that area.”

A show that has taken over the world

When Bluey first launched on ABC Kids, it didn’t take long for it to be the most downloaded series in Australia.

And while people around the world seem to be all too familiar with the voices on the show, Melanie says she loves being out in public and watching Bluey fans buy merchandise or talk about the show without the slightest clue who she is.

“I kind of love that. I have a bit of a chameleon voice,” she said, admitting no one ever picks up on her sweet voice being the same as Chilli’s.

“With Chilli, I lean more into Australian dog mum with cute little puppies. I think it’s less recognisable but I’ve been in a number of situations in America, which is wild, where people lose their mind when they find out,” she laughed.

Bluey’s third season kicks off with one major milestone

After what seemed like an eternity for fans, the third series of Bluey has dropped and the first episode reveals a major milestone for our favourite characters. Bluey and Bingo get their own bedrooms.

When Bluey hears that they will have a ‘spare room’ in the house, she seizes the chance to make it her own. The two pups, who have shared a room until now, divide up their toys and make their new rooms their own.

But when it comes to lights out, the two can’t seem to sleep without each other.

“It’s a very touching story reflecting one of the many early childhood rites of passage we can sometimes skim over in the busyness of family life,” Melanie said, adding it “will certainly tug on a few heart strings.”

Season 3 of Bluey is now available to view on ABC Kids and ABC iview - airing daily at 8am and 6.20pm.
