Set your alarms, tell your friends! The world premiere of The Sign, the hotly
anticipated 28-minute special Bluey episode, will air Sunday 14 April at 8am on ABC
Kids and ABC iview, before becoming available globally.

ABC Head of Children and Family Libbie Doherty said, “We have set the date! The
Sign – the biggest Bluey episode ever – will premiere in April on the ABC, the home of
Bluey. Australian audiences will be the first to watch the 28-minute special, uniting
with fans around the globe as they wake up to share in this major broadcast event.
Joe Brumm and the team at Ludo have exceeded all expectations – we’re sure this
episode will delight and surprise, so get ready.”

And that’s not all! Prior to The Sign, fans will be treated to brand-new regular length
episode Ghostbasket, premiering on Sunday 7 April, 8am on ABC Kids and ABC iview.
Both episodes are penned by Bluey creator and writer Joe Brumm, directed by Richard
Jeffery, and produced by Ludo Studio.

Managing Director, BBC Kids & Family Cecelia Persson, said: “This is going to be an
unmissable event for every Bluey fan worldwide and a fantastic springboard into the
incredible world of Bluey for those new to the show who’ve yet to experience its pure
joy.”

Ludo Studio said “We’re so excited to share Ghostbasket, a brand-new Bluey episode
followed by The Sign which is the equivalent to nearly six Chunky Chimps! The crew
have worked so hard on these two new episodes, making them the very best that
they can be and we can’t wait to share them with a global audience.”

Celebrities across the globe want to be a part of the Bluey world! The Sign is jam-packed with voice talent: Patrick Brammall returns as the voice of Uncle Rad, alongside Megan Washington as Calypso, Claudia O’Doherty as Frisky, Myf Warhurst as Trixie, and Rose Byrne as Brandy.

Making their Bluey voice debut, this special episode introduces Rove McManus, Deborah Mailman, Brendan Williams and Joel Edgerton.

Co-commissioned by ABC Children’s and BBC Studios Kids & Family, Bluey is the #1 kids’ show on Australian broadcast television, and the most watched series ever on ABC iview.

Ghostbasket premieres on Sunday 7 April at 8am, and The Sign premieres on Sunday 14
April 2024 at 8am, both on ABC Kids and ABC iview. In the meantime, stream Bluey series 1-3 anytime on ABC iview.
