A trailer has been released for the first ever Bluey special. Called The Sign, this special is the first extended length episode of Bluey. It will be premiering on Disney+ on April 14, 2024 at 12:00 AM PT, 7:00 AM EDT/PDT on Disney Junior, and 7:30 AM EDT/PDT on Disney Channel. This will come a week after the episode, Ghostbasket, arrives on Disney+ on April 7, 2024 at 12:00 AM PT, 7:00 AM EDT/PDT on Disney Junior, and 7:30 AM EDT/PDT.
So far, Bluey is the No. 1 most-streamed series across all audiences* in 2024. It is also the No. 1 series for preschoolers and kids overall** in the United States, according to Nielson.
Ghostbasket, the April 7 episode, will see the return of the much-loved Grannies, Janet and Rita, played by Bluey and Bingo.
“The Sign” is the longest episode ever of the global hit TV show. Dave McCormack and Melanie Zanetti reprise their roles as the voices of Bandit and Chilli Heeler, and Patrick Brammall returns as the voice of Uncle Rad, Claudia O’Doherty as Frisky, alongside Megan Washington as Calypso, Myf Warhurst as Trixie, and Rose Byrne as Aunt Brandy. Making their “Bluey” voice debut, this special episode introduces Rove McManus, Deborah Mailman, Brendan Williams and Joel Edgerton.
Created and written by Joe Brumm, the series follows Bluey, a lovable and inexhaustible Blue Heeler dog who lives with her Mum, Dad, and little sister, Bingo. Bluey uses her limitless energy to play games that unfold in unpredictable and hilarious ways, bringing her family and the whole neighborhood into her world of fun.
Both of these new Bluey episodes will be airing first in Australia on ABC Kids. They will then be broadcast globally on the same day on Disney+, Disney Junior and Disney Channel in all other available regions (with the exception of China and New Zealand).
