Bluey New Episodes Release Schedule: When Are New Minisodes Coming Out?

The beloved Australian animated series Bluey has certainly captured the hearts of both children and adults alike since its debut in October 2018. With its clever humor, relatable themes, and engaging storytelling, Bluey has established itself as one of the leading children’s programs today. Viewers have an impressive library of over 150 episodes at their disposal, providing ample content for newcomers and longtime fans to enjoy.

Despite this extensive catalog, anticipation for new Bluey episodes remains high among fans. The recent announcement of a Bluey feature film has provided some excitement, yet many are eagerly awaiting fresh episodes. While 2024 saw the release of new episodes and minisodes, updates regarding Season 4 or additional minisodes have been scarce. Nevertheless, it is widely expected that we will see more of the beloved Blue Heeler family in the future.

Uncertainty Surrounding the Arrival of New Bluey Episodes

Creator Joe Brumm Shifts Focus to the Feature Film

Currently, there is no official release date announced for Season 4 or further minisodes of Bluey (via Parents). However, fans can take heart in the knowledge that Bluey is expected to return in some capacity beyond the anticipated feature film, projected to premiere possibly in 2027. In an open letter, Joe Brumm, the show’s creator, shared his decision to step back from the series as he focuses on the film and various other undisclosed projects (via Bluey).

Brumm has expressed that he would not proceed with a new season unless he could enhance the show’s quality, suggesting that future episodes are indeed a possibility. He reassures fans, stating:

“To be clear, this is not an announcement about the end of the show, but it is an acknowledgment that my focus will be on the film.”

Though this does not guarantee additional Bluey episodes, Brumm’s positive outlook on the show’s continuity is a promising sign for devoted fans.

Latest Minisodes Released in December 2024

Conclusion of Bluey Season 3 in April 2024

The final minisodes of Bluey were released in December 2024, while Season 3 concluded in April 2024. Initially, it appeared that the series would wrap up with Season 3, Episode 49, titled “The Sign.”This extended episode conveyed a sense of finale as it depicted Bluey’s family preparing for a move. However, fans were pleasantly surprised when another episode, “Surprise!”, premiered the following week.

This episode featured a flashforward, showcasing an adult Bluey returning home to greet her own children. Whether this hints at future developments for the series or serves merely as an isolated moment remains to be seen.

The Lengthy Process of Animation Production

When to Expect Bluey Season 4

Developing a fully animated television series is a time-consuming endeavor. Estimates suggest that producing just 60–90 seconds of animation can take between 8–10 weeks (via StudioPigeon). While having established animation models could streamline the process, the fact remains that each Bluey season typically consists of at least 50 episodes, indicating a significant workload ahead for production teams.
