Bluey first premiered on Australia’s ABC – the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, not the American television network currently owned by Disney – Kids network in 2018. The series follows Bluey (an anthropomorphic Blue Heeler puppy) and her family in Brisbane, Australia. The series has become an international hit thanks to its heart, imaginative sequences, and comedy that’s funny to both children and adults. In June of 2019, Disney acquired the international distribution rights to the series, and began streaming it on Disney+ in all territories excluding Australia, New Zealand and China, but including the U.S.
