Biscuits! It’s been so long since American audiences were able to catch new episodes of the beloved, Emmy-winning Australian kids’ show Bluey. But finally, some news from Down Under has given us a sign that we might be getting closer to more seasons of Bluey Season 3 on Disney+. Here’s everything we know about when we can expect more playtime fun with the Heeler Family.
When is Bluey Season 3 coming to Disney+?
Created and written by Joe Brumm and produced by Ludo Studio for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and BBC Studios, Bluey Season 3 has already aired 37 episodes in Australia, but so far, only the first 27 episodes of that season dropped on Disney+.
Since last summer, international audiences have patiently waited for the release of those remaining 10 episodes. However, in March 2023, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation announced nine new episodes would air weekly in Australia starting April 9 of this year. While that doesn’t immediately mean news for those of us outside of Australia, it could be an indication that we’re getting closer to another episode drop on Disney+.
What is Bluey Season 3 about?
Bluey, her sister Bingo, her mum Chilli, and her dad Bandit are always having small adventures of playing games and learning important life lessons, and Season 3 is no exception. In the latest episodes, Bluey and Bingo’s world has expanded with new friends and new discoveries… sometimes from the comfort of their own home.
“The premiering episodes also include a range of home-based stories that reflect, in humorous and sometimes poignant detail, the usual and unexpected occurrences of everyday family life with relatable themes such as making dad a birthday breakfast, keeping promises, and getting one’s own bedroom,” according to a press release.
We also know future episodes it will feature Bluey and Bandit’s Auntie Brandy, thanks to this Season 3 spoiler.
Kids and families around the world love Bluey.

Since its debut in the U.S. in 2019, Bluey has quickly become a fan favorite. According to the press release, the series was Disney Junior’s #1 ratings driver with kids 2 to 5 years old in 2021 and the first half of 2022. On ABC in Australia, Bluey is the #1 children’s show across all age groups. The first live Bluey puppet show called Bluey’s Big Play The Stage Show will tour the U.S. starting on Nov. 18 in New York City.
Bluey earned International Emmy® Award in the Preschool category in 2020 as well as four 2021 Kidscreen Awards (Best Animated Series, Best Directing, Best Writing, Best Music), a 2021 Rockie Award (Best Animation Program for Pre-school Viewers), a 2021 ARIA Award for Best Children’s Album, the 2021 AACTA Best Children’s Program, and a nomination for Best Animated Series at the 27th Critics' Choice Awards.
“Love for Bluey has exploded among viewers across the globe, and we’re delighted to debut another exciting season that will give fans more opportunities to spend time with Bluey and family,” said Henrietta Hurford-Jones, Director of Children's Content Partnerships, BBC Studios, in a press release. “We’re so happy to be working with a partner like Disney that shares our enthusiasm for the series, which has become part of the cultural zeitgeist and a co-viewing winner worldwide.”
Charlie Aspinwall and Daley Pearson, Executive Producers and Co-Founders, Ludo Studio, said in a statement, “We've been creating Bluey together for over five years at Ludo and every day is a privilege to turn up and create the show with each artist at the studio.
