Get ready to play a game of Keepy Uppy in a theater near you. The release date for the first Bluey movie was announced on Thursday (Sept. 4) — but fans will have to wait almost two years to watch it on Aug. 6, 2027.
A release date for the franchise’s first feature-length film — which will be written and directed by Bluey creator Joe Brumm and co-directed by Richard Jeffery — was announced by BBC Studios and Walt Disney Studios, in partnership with Ludo Studio.
Voice actors Melanie Zanetti and David McCormack will return as Chilli and Bandit, Bluey and Bingo’s Mum and Dad, for the film.
The Bluey TV series premiered in October 2018 in its native Australia before making its international debut more than a year later on Disney Jr. and eventually streaming on Disney+. The series follows a puppy named Bluey and her little sister Bingo as they go on adventures big and small with their beloved Mum and Dad. Last year, Bluey won a Peabody Award in the children’s & youth category.
The series has charted three No. 1s on Billboard‘s Kid Albums chart: Bluey: The Album (in 2021), Bluey: Dance Mode! (2023) and Bluey: Rug Island (2024). All three also reached the Soundtracks chart. Collectively, the trio of chart-topping Kid Albums have earned 764,000 equivalent album units in the United States, through the week ending Aug. 28, according to Luminate.
Season 3 of Bluey wrapped last year and there’s no word when a season 4 might arrive.
