If viewers had the feeling that after 28 minutes Blue finale “The Sign” — and its unannounced season three coda episode “Surprise,” which fell on Disney+ last night – that there was a feeling of finality for the beloved animated seriesit was sort of intentional.
Some fans were concerned that when the “For Sale” sign went up at the Heeler's house at the end of season three – or because the final moments of “Surprise” (small spoiler alert here) jumped into the future with an adult Bluey and his child showed up at his parents’ house – that this could mean the Heelers were leaving.
Don't stress too much: the show will will return in some form, but that remains to be determined by the creatives at Ludo Studio, whose small indie animated series has become a pop culture phenomenon that proves animation is for everyone. In an interview with the BBC, Blue Producer Sam Moor said: “No, this is not the end for Blue. I'm sure we have many more surprises in store for you. The team is taking a break after creating about 151 seven-minute episodes and 28-minute “The Sign,” but “We have more in store and we're thinking about what's next.”
The interview also mentions that fellow producer Daley Pearson said it would be a “dream” for the team to tackle a feature film about Bluey and his family if the 28-minute Ludo episode bears fruit – and that's what happened. Bloomberg cites a report from market research firm Circana that says Blue represents 29% of television views on Disney+. The release of the extended episode of “The Sign” recorded 10.4 million views on the platform, making it “both the most watched episode Blue episode premiere and the most-watched Disney Junior episode premiere of all time, ” based on a version sent by Disney.
This is all the more remarkable since Blue is not even a wonder, Star Wars, or Disney property; Disney has just distributed the show Ludo Studio, supported by BBC Studios for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. Blue merchandise exploded at retailers like CAMPwhat did an incredible immersive activation where fans could also meet Bluey and Bingo, as well as FAO Schwarz, which has just released a new collaboration. It's really surprising that neither Disney Stores nor Disney Parks got in on this action, but hey, we love the little guy who somehow holds this power. And we can't wait to see where they use it next. More seasons and this movie, please!
In the meantime you can watch all up to date Blue seasons on Disney+.
