ABC announces surprising new format for hit children's series Bluey amid global success

As a lifestyle expert with a soft spot for all things family-friendly and animated, I must say that I am absolutely thrilled about the latest development in the world of Bluey! Having been fortunate enough to witness the global phenomenon that this Australian children’s series has become, I can confidently declare that this new audio collection, Bluey Listen Along, is a brilliant addition to the already impressive portfolio.

It’s the Australian animated children’s series that has taken the world by storm.

Moreover, as excitement over ABC’s smash hit Bluey reaches fever pitch, the national broadcaster has now revealed an unexpected twist in the show’s format.

Should you or your children be craving more of Bluey’s delightful escapades, feel free to tune in whenever you wish!

Starting on Friday, 13th December, you can get your hands on Bluey Listen Along – a fantastic audio compilation filled with our favorite episodes from the show!

The bumper audio collection features 20 fan-favourite episodes from the show’s three seasons.

Among some of Bluey’s most cherished scenes, such as Fairytale, Duck Cake, Trash Night, Grandmas, and Early Childhood, are included in this eagerly awaited compilation.

The collection is a joint presentation between the ABC, Ludo studio and BBC Kids & Family.

It will also be distributed internationally by BBC Studios.

Dan Brumm, the younger sibling of the series creator Joe Brumm and the sound designer for Bluey, has been enlisted to handle the mixing process for this project.

Dan also voices Bluey’s uncle Stripe while their mother Christine voices Bluey’s grandmother Chris.

As a devoted follower, I find this audio series tailored to unwind, captivate, and spark my imagination as a child. It’s an ideal soundtrack for long car journeys and makes an excellent bedtime companion.

Beginning this Friday, you’ll find the downloadable version of Bluey Listen Along on both the ABC Kids listen and ABC listen apps.

2018 marked the debut of the ABC series on Australian television, and this year has undoubtedly been a standout one for it.

In November, the cherished kids’ TV series seemed to leap off the screen as Bluey’s World theme park made its grand opening in Brisbane.

In September, the show achieved a significant worldwide milestone by being the most-streamed television series throughout the United States in 2024.

This year, it’s been estimated that viewers in the U.S. have collectively spent 35 billion minutes enjoying the globally recognized ABC Kids series, as per findings from Nielsen Media Research.

Daley Pearson, the show’s executive producer, expressed his joy over the worldwide success of his television program on various social media platforms last September.

2024 sees Bluey as the top-watched show across America, an astounding feat! As Daley put it, a whopping 35 billion minutes of this series have been viewed this year.

Simultaneously, the U.S. Embassy in Australia responded to Pearson’s post with a heartfelt congratulation, saying: “Our children are all fond of it (and even use the term ‘dunny’)! Well done!

In the United States, Bluey, a show available for streaming on Disney+, just barely outperformed other popular series such as House of the Dragon, Grey’s Anatomy, and Family Guy in ratings.

In 2023, an Australian animated series ranked as the second most-watched streaming show in the U.S., trailing slightly behind Suits, a popular legal drama.

Reports indicate that children in the U.S. have started adopting a distinctive Australian accent when speaking, as they watch and imitate the characters from the popular show “Bluey,” which features a charming family of blue heelers.

The animated series gained immense popularity in the U.S. following its debut on the Disney Channel, Disney Junior, and Disney+ in September 2019.

2020 saw The New York Times hail the show as a phenomenon comparable to Australia’s most cherished musical export since The Wiggles – their beloved kids’ band. I, being an ardent fan, couldn’t agree more!

The cartoon stays true to its true-blue roots and is packed with ‘g’day’ greetings and unmistakably Aussie phrases like ‘show us your thongs, muffin!’
