How to watch Bluey – How to stream in UK

The show first aired back in 2018, introducing viewers to the wild antics of the Heeler family.

The 2D animation about a family of Cattle Dogs in Brisbane captures the glee of childhood and parenting, and soon became a firm family favourite.

"I think Bluey is a show that's obviously made with an age group in mind, but it is for everyone," Melanie Zanetti (who voices Bluey's mother Chilli) told RadioTimes.com.

"It's real," continued producer Andrew Kay. "That's the extraordinary thing about [Joe Brumm's] writing, that nothing is off the table. He will cover difficult topics: sadness, loss, all those things, in a children's show.

"When we started this show in Madison Square Garden, it was amazing. We had grandparents, parents, uncles and children. The adults came just as much as the children."

Zanetti went on to recall encounters with parents, teachers and young people who have praised Bluey for helping both them and their children overcome hurdles in their lives.

"I did a Comic-Con for the first time, and I expected the children and parents who loved it," she said. "But the people in their 20s, who would say things like, 'I had a really difficult childhood and this show is re-parenting me.'

"[There were] a lot of Gen Z people saying, 'This is my comfort show and helps with my anxiety.' I had a woman say she works in foster care and for most of these children, this is the only example they have of a functioning family."

"So the fact that it is putting out such joy, but also potentially helping to build a generation of parents and children in a beautiful direction, is just astounding to me."
