Bluey’s The Sign coming to BBC

March 26, 2025

The 28-minute special Bluey episode The Sign will land on CBeebies and BBC iPlayer on April 18tj (Good Friday). Additionally, Season 3 of the animated hit will air on CBeebies from April.

Written by Bluey creator and writer Joe Brumm, directed by Richard Jeffery, and produced by Ludo Studio, The Sign – previously only available in Disney+ in the UK – has  won a Kidscreen Award in 2025 for Best One-Off, Special or TV Movie in Preschool Programming. In the extended episode, the Heeler family home is up for sale and Bluey’s unhappy. But Bluey’s comforted when Calypso tells her a proverb about a farmer who trusts everything will turn out the way it’s meant to be. The next day, the Heeler home is prepping for Frisky’s wedding, but when it’s revealed Rad is planning a move out west after the wedding, Frisky runs away. Now Bluey has to experience her own farmer’s proverb.

BBC Children’s and Education, Senior Head of Commissioning for CBeebies, Kate Morton, commented: “We know how much little ones and their families all over the world love Bluey, and it’s important to us that everyone across the UK has the chance to watch this global sensation. That’s why we’re so proud that CBeebies is the UK home for Bluey. The extended episode has already garnered so much positive acclaim and it’s the perfect Easter treat for families to watch together over Easter weekend maybe even with a chocolate egg or two.”

In addition to the free-to-air debut of The Sign, 13 episodes of Bluey, new to CBeebies, will be available on CBeebies and BBC iPlayer from April 7th.
