  • The popular children's cartoon “Bluey” is the second most streamed series in the United States.

    Data recently released by Neilsen showed that the show's viewership on Disney+ had doubled in 2023 compared to the previous year.

    The animated series about a family of blue heelers living in Brisbane was the second most-streamed show in the US with 43.9 billion minutes watched, just behind legal drama Suits.

    Bluey achieved incredible success in a year that was overshadowed by the writers' strike in Hollywood.

    The strike had minimal impact on animated series like Bluey and Cocomelon, as production on the 2023 seasons of those shows wrapped well before them.

    Bluey managed to surpass Cocomelon, the reigning children's show in 2021 and 2022, by doubling its viewership in 2023.

    Nielsen also documented a 21% increase in Americans' total streaming content consumption, reaching an impressive 21 million last year.

    Arguably Australia's most popular children's television show, Bluey follows the adventures of a loveable, inexhaustible six-year-old Blue Heeler dog along with her family, which includes her mother, father, younger sister and friends.

    The animated series won the Kids: Preschool Award at the 2019 International Emmys.

    The animated film has become extremely popular in the US after premiering on Disney Channel, Disney Junior and Disney+ in September 2019.

    In 2020, The New York Times described the show as “the biggest Australian export since The Wiggles” – the country's most famous children's band.

    The show is the result of a partnership between Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) Children's and BBC Studios Kids & Family, under the creative direction of Joe Brumm.

    Staying true to its Australian roots, the cartoon is packed with “G'Day” greetings and Aussie phrases like “Show us your thongs, muffin!”
