Bluey fans have recently taken to social media to speculate about the future of the globally beloved ABC animated series.
The final episode of season three, airing Sunday, will be 28 minutes long (four times longer than regular episodes) and is set to “change the popular Heeler family forever.”
The release of the mega episode caused panic among thousands of fans, with many thinking it meant the cartoon would end forever.
And now a producer of the popular Australian cartoon has revealed the show’s fate.
Executive producer Daley Pearson spoke to Sunrise on Friday morning and revealed: “We’ve been working on this half-hour episode for the last while, but we’ll be doing more Bluey.”
Bluey fans have recently taken to social media to speculate about the future of the globally beloved ABC animated series.
‘It’s been a concentration on this half-hour episode. We’ll see where it goes. “I think when we’ve taken risks, that’s when it’s been most exciting and I think that’s when the audience has liked it the most as well,” he continued.
“So whatever it is, it’s going to be something we’re not really sure we can do.” But we hope we can do it.’
The producer also revealed that it would be a “dream” to make a feature film of the cartoon.
He added that Sunday’s 28-minute special titled ‘The Sign’ will be a test to see how audiences respond to a longer episode.
The final episode of the third season, airing Sunday, will be 28 minutes long (four times longer than regular episodes) and is set to “change the popular Heeler family forever.”
Fears were first stoked when a story revealed the family’s 15- to 20-bedroom Brisbane home was on the market for A$6 million.
However, Pearson divulged that the moving plot was designed simply to show another side of childhood.
‘[Moving house is] always out of our hands. Kids will love that. Especially Molly. It is the parents’ decision. So the world changes without you much involvement, which is largely what this half-hour episode is about.’
Executive producer Daley Pearson spoke to Sunrise on Friday morning and revealed: “For the last little while, we’ve been working on this half-hour EP, but we’ll be doing more Bluey.”

‘There’s no way they’re going to take down Bluey, right?’ Good??’ one concerned social media user wrote on X.
‘Bruh, they can’t cancel BLUEY. My son is about to celebrate his second BLUEY birthday next week. It’s what we do in this house…she will be devastated and I can’t lie, we all see it. #BlueyRules,’ another commented.
Bluey’s special will air on Sunday, April 14, 2024 on ABC Kids.
