A film adaptation of the hit kids’ TV show Bluey will premiere in 2027, Disney+ and BBC Studios announced Tuesday. The joint venture will first hit theaters, then be available for streaming on Disney+, ABC iView and ABC Kids in Australia. The show follows the adventures of Bluey, a blue heeler dog, with her parents and brother Bingo. “I’ve always thought Bluey deserved a theatrical movie. I want this to be an experiential event for the whole family to enjoy together,” said the show’s creator, Joe Brumm. The show’s voice actors are all returning for the new project. Now available in 140 countries, Bluey first premiered in 2018 and has garnered international recognition and acclaim, including winning two Television Critics Association Awards and the Peabody Award.
