Just when it appeared that the Bluey craze had reached its peak in 2024, the year is concluding with a significant announcement regarding the future. After fueling a hardware store makeover and obtaining its own theme park, while simultaneously releasing both long and super-short episodes of its TV series, the Heeler family is now set to make their big-screen debut! And astonishingly, we didn't even need to send the Grannies to exert any intimidation.

Bittersweet Details and the Movie Announcement

The BBC and Disney have made a thrilling announcement that a movie is in the works and is scheduled for release in 2027. The Bluey movie is crafted and directed by its creator, Joe Brumm. In a special message to fans within the press release, he shared how an old idea resurfaced after some time away from the series while working on another project. He then penned a Bluey feature script that he holds dear. Fast forward through a plethora of contracting processes, and they are all set to embark on making this animated Bluey movie!Although no details about the movie's plot have been disclosed, we do know that the beloved Bluey voice actors are all on board. Additionally, it has been confirmed that the new feature-length project is being led by Joe Brumm, who mentioned in the release that he was inspired by the extended episode length of "The Sign." It seems he agreed with fans like me who believe that Bluey thrives with a longer runtime.

Bluey's Future on TV

At the outset of this story, I mentioned some bad news. Following the announcement of the movie, Brumm dropped an unexpected revelation. As he explains in the statement below, he has no current intentions to return to Bluey for Season 4, and it might mark the end of his tenure with the series.Now, for the challenging part. He always stated that he wouldn't continue making the show if he thought he couldn't create a new season as good as the previous one. In this case, a potential Season 4 would have presented such a situation for him. Hence, he has decided to take a break from his involvement in the TV series. It should be noted that this is not an announcement about the show's end, but rather an acknowledgment that his focus will be on the film.It's hard to imagine Bluey without Joe Brumm at the helm, as we've never witnessed what the show would be like without him. Who knows, perhaps we'll even get that much-discussed crossover with The Simpsons. Considering the numerous Bluey references to one of the greatest animated shows of all time, it seems that having him on board would increase the odds.I also want to emphasize that although Brumm stated he won't be working on Season 4 due to his commitment to the movie, he might find more inspiration during the gap between now and the release and decide to return to Bluey to work on more episodes. It's difficult to make too many speculations as fans who are out of the loop might not even notice a difference in his absence. Therefore, it might be wise to wait and see how Season 4 unfolds before reacting too strongly, especially if this is truly what Brumm desires.
