German actress Diane Kruger is helping give the Australian cartoon puppy Bluey an international spin by narrating the books in German for the first time ever. The Inglourious Basterds star will appear on Season 2 of the digital series Bluey Book Reads next week on YouTube to read the Bluey books The Creek and Camping in her native German. “Tucking in for the night in our house never happens without a good Bluey book. I’m thrilled I got the opportunity to read these two stories. I definitely got mom points for this one,” Kruger said. The second season of Bluey Book Reads will host a handful of notable stars, like Helena Bonham Carter and Elijah Wood, and will be narrated in various different languages as well. Camille Cottin will narrate on the show for the second time in French, and actress Han Ga-In will narrate the first-ever Korean Bluey book. Bluey Book Reads launched in Feb. 2024 and has amassed over 75 million views. According to Bluey‘s executive producer, Daley Pearson, the blue cartoon puppy became “the No.1 most watched show (of all shows) in America for 2024.” “How incredible,” he commented.
