It’s been a while since we’ve had a real one Bluey announcement. Back in April, the beloved Australian children’s show aired its double-length Season 3 finale, “The Sign,” followed by a surprise dénouement ep, aptly titled “Surprise!” These episodes, released back-to-back, did not feel like a normal season finale; they had the feel of a series finale. Since then, the series has released a bunch of minisodes on Disney+, but there has been no news on whether the series will return in its entirety for a fourth season. Season schmeason, I say. Don’t while you’re on top, I say. Bluey coming to theaters worldwide as an animated feature film in 2027!

The Bluey the film will be written and directed by the show’s creator, the elusive Joe Brumm, who said in a statement: “I really enjoyed the experience of working with a longer format on ‘The Sign’ in series three, so going even further with a the feature film feels like a natural extension of that, I’ve always thought Bluey deserved a theatrical release.” He also said, “I want this to be an experiential event that the whole family can enjoy together,” whatever that means.

Bluevie will be a BBC Studios co-production with Ludo Studio, like the show, with Disney distributing under its banner. It will stream on Disney+ following its worldwide theatrical release. Hopefully Bluey‘s popularity lasts until 2027, so this thing can make huge dollars. I can imagine Pooh putting out more minis in the meantime to keep the brand alive. Or maybe a Muffin spinoff? Anyway, product designers, you have two years to build a Chattermax popcorn bucket. Good luck.
