A Bluey movie is officially on the way

But, don't get too excited - the announcement has come along with some sad news about the future of the show.

If you (like us) have been missing Bluey a little extra since the latest episode The Sign aired back in April - we have good news!

A Bluey movie has officially been announced in a statement from the show’s creator, Joe Brumm.

However, with the good news comes some bad, with the future of the show up in the air.

All new Bluey!

“I’m writing this to share some Bluey news – some good, some trifficult,” Brum said in the statement.

“Let’s start with the good – after some time spent away from the series, working on another project, an old idea resurfaced and before I knew it, I’d written a Bluey feature script that I really love. 

“Fast forward through a tonne of contracting and we’re about to embark on making an animated Bluey movie!”

The animated feature film will be landing in cinemas in 2027, in collaboration with BBC Studios and Disney.

But, there’s a catch…

Whilst there is plenty of excitement circulating around the film, there are mixed emotions for Brumm, who indicated that this Bluey project may be his last - at least for the foreseeable future.

“Now, for the trifficult,” Brumm’s statement continued.

“I always said I wouldn’t keep making the show if I thought I couldn’t make any new season as good as the last. This would have been the case for me with a potential season four, so I’ve decided to take a break from my involvement in the TV series. 

“In the event I can’t wrap my head around doing more seasons myself, The Sign will mark my TV finale for Bluey and I wrote it as such.”

Whilst his personal involvement in Bluey may be coming to an end, Brumm did take the time to thank his team in the statement, encouraging high hopes from fans that they will continue to create the show in his absence.

“Bluey has completely changed my life. It’s been an immensely satisfying thing to be a part of, more than I can really put into words. To walk away from it while it’s at such a height will seem crazy to some but, for now, I am finding it difficult to reach back genuinely into that four to six-year-old world and write authentically,” he said.

“My Bluey crew and all the creative people in my life completely understand my decision. Working with that wonderful group of people has been the absolute highlight of my animation career and I hope Bluey on their CV is a badge of pride for them.

“To be clear, this is not an announcement about the end of the show, but it is an acknowledgment that my focus will be on the film.

“Thank you for taking this show into your homes, the whole experience has been an impossible experience to describe.”
