Ten brand-new episodes of Bluey have made their way to Disney+ today–for real life–and fans won’t want to miss a single one.

When Bluey debuted in Australia in 2018, from the mind of Australian animator and Bluey creator Joe Brumm, ABC Children (the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, of course), BBC Studios Kids, and executive producer Daley Pearson, no one–not even the creators and producers of the hit children’s program–could have guessed the show would enjoy the popularity it has enjoyed so far. Bluey was the #1 most-watched children’s series in the United States in 2023, and for good reason!

Part of the success of Bluey, which is considered a children’s educational series, is its different approach to education as compared with other children’s programs. There are very few letters in episodes of the show, and no reading is required. Bluey also features no numbers and no counting. But that doesn’t mean it isn’t educational.

Instead of using run-of-the-mill elements to teach kids various pre-Kindergarten concepts, each Bluey episode about the Heeler family–Bluey, a delightful blue heeler, her little sister Bingo, and her mum and dad, Chilli and Bandit–feature examples of imaginative play and also exhibit the daily happenings between members of Bluey’s family.

Both of these elements serve to encourage social skills and imaginative play, and as children (and adults) watch the show, they are introduced to what it means to be a member of a family, among other things.

Though experts think they’ve finally discovered what makes Bluey so popular, and some have even opined about the surprise benefit enjoyed by those who watch the show, every fan of the children’s program has different reasons behind their affinity for the show.

On Thursday, ABC’s Good Morning America shared a short preview video of the new episodes of Bluey that dropped today. The video gave fans a tiny taste of what’s in store for Bluey and her family in ten brand-new episodes that have already been seen in Bluey’s native Australia, but are debuting for the first time in the United States today.

Fans who want to see the second set of episodes from the third season of Bluey can watch them today on the Disney+ streaming platform. Per DisneyPlus.com, the following episodes debut today on Disney+ and will debut on Disney Channel and Disney Junior later in the year:

“Cubby” – Bluey and Bingo build a very special cubby for their stuffed toy, Kimjim.

“Exercise” – Bingo pretends to be Boss Bluey’s new employee in the middle of Dad’s backyard workout.

“Relax” – Bluey and Bingo would rather explore their holiday hotel room than relax on the beach.

“Stickbird” – On a trip to the beach, Mum teaches Bluey how to throw, while Bingo and Dad get creative with a funny shaped stick.

“Show and Tell” – Bluey wants to know why Dad’s always bossing her around!

“Dragon” – Bluey asks Dad to help her draw a dragon for her story.

“Wild Girls” – Coco wants to play Wild Girls with Indy, but Chloe wants her to play another game.

“TV Shop” – At the pharmacy, Bluey and Bingo have fun playing with the CCTV screens.

“Slide” – Bingo and Lila are excited to play on their new waterslide.

“Cricket” – During a friendly game of neighborhood cricket, the dads struggle to bowl Rusty out.

Fans can stream ten new episodes of Season 3 of Bluey now on Disney+.

Disney just made a huge announcement about Bluey, the beloved children’s show that has taken children’s programming to a whole new level.

Bluey fans are apparently some of the most patient people on earth. After all, they’ve been waiting for what seems like forever for new episodes of the fan-favorite children’s program about the Heeler family–Bluey, her sister Bingo, and her parents Chilli and Bandit–to arrive. And whether it’s Disney or the Australian production team responsible for generating new episodes of the series, the powers-that-be have heard fans’ pleas for new episodes, and they have answered.

In an official press release on Wednesday, Disney announced that ten new episodes of Bluey will make their way to Disney Junior and Disney Channel beginning on November 6. One ten-minute episode will premiere on the channels each weekday through Friday, November 17–each time at 7:30 a.m. EST. Encores will be part of programming throughout the day.

To clarify, the press release from Disney is not announcing brand-new, never-before-seen episodes of Bluey. Instead, the ten episodes that will premiere on Disney Junior and Disney Channel are those that were released over the summer, so Disney+ subscribers have likely seen these episodes. The debut refers to the episodes’ debut on Disney television–on Disney Junior and the Disney Channel.

The addition of the ten episodes to Disney television means that the offerings will be a part of the rotating line-up of Bluey episodes, and fans can watch the episodes on live television whenever they air.

The additional episodes batch is referred to as Season 3B, as it’s the second group of episodes from the third season of the show. The newest batch includes two episodes of Bluey that feature celebrity cameos and a few episodes that are quite emotional in nature–and might just hit some adult fans with all the feels. And, of course, the episodes will feature the usual antics and silliness fans have come to expect from–and love about–the Heeler family and their friends.

Though this news is a bit disappointing for Bluey fans who’ve already seen the episodes, there’s still good news. Truly new episodes from the third season of the show will debut on Disney+, on Disney Junior, and on Disney Channel in 2024. As of the time of this post, there are still ten episodes that have only aired in their native Australia, as well as three episodes that haven’t been seen by any Bluey fans.

Millions of children (and their parents) are going to be devastated by this news.

Back in 2018, Bluey, a wholesome Australian animated show, premiered on ABC Kids. Five years later, it is one of the biggest children’s shows in the world.

Bluey is an animated series that has captured the hearts of audiences worldwide, becoming a favorite among children and adults alike. Fans in the United States have raced to Disney+ to watch the show. Bluey follows the lives of the Heeler family, which consists of Bluey, her younger sister, Bingo, and their parents, Bandit and Chilli. Each episode of Bluey focuses on extraordinary adventures, imaginative play, and essential conversations that reflect real-life situations. The show has gained a reputation for its relatable and heartwarming portrayal of family life.

Bluey has been slowly dropping episodes of their third season. The second part of the season just landed on Disney+ on July 12. Even with the rest of the episodes coming later this year, fans are very eager to know when season four will begin production. Once fans watch this season’s 50th and final episode, they will be already impatient for more.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like Bluey season four is coming as soon as hoped.

In a recent interview with the Courier Mail, Bluey’s executive producer, Daley Pearson, broke the news that is shattering the hearts of fans. When asked on when season four is in the works, Pearson revealed;

“It’s been four or five years and we’ve made 154 episodes. It is kind of unprecedented to do that back-to-back. It was very intense … We are just coming to the end of season three, and trying to think about what’s the best way to make it better… The more we ask ourselves, the longer it will be, which is why I hesitate talking about it too much.”

While it is sad to know that we will have to say goodbye to Bluey for a while, it is good to know that the show’s creative team cares so much about producing quality episodes. This show is truly incredible, and the wait will surely be worth it!
