Why You Can Trust CNET New 'Bluey' Has Finally Arrived: Minisode Release Schedule and How to Watch
Bite-size 'Bluey' is here to make for an easy holiday binge.
All new Bluey minisodes are coming to Disney Plus on July 3.
It is time to celebrate; Bluey is finally back.
Bluey minisodes return viewers to the Heeler household, promising a fresh array of adventures and life lessons with everyone's favorite anthropomorphic dog family: Bluey; her sister Bingo; their father Bandit and mom Chili. Disney originally announced the arrival of 20 new bite-size episodes in May. Each episode clocks in at 1 to 3 minutes in length, making for an incredibly easy binge.
Joe Brumm created Bluey, which is produced by Ludo Studio for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and BBC Studios Kids & Family. Thanks to a broadcasting deal with Disney Branded Television, the hit animated series streams to US and global viewers -- who reside outside of Australia, New Zealand and China -- on the Disney Channel, Disney Jr. and Disney Plus.
