View Article on CNET

Time to celebrate, Bluey is back — again.

Bluey minisodes will return to the Heeler household to explore new adventures and life lessons with Bluey, her sister Bingo; their father Bandit and mom Chili. Disney originally announced the pending arrival of 20 new bite-size episodes in May. Each episode will clock in at 1 to 3 minutes in length, making for an incredibly easy binge. 

Joe Brumm created Bluey, and it’s produced by Ludo Studio for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and BBC Studios Kids & Family. Thanks to a broadcasting deal with Disney Branded Television, the hit animated series streams to the US and global viewers — who reside outside of Australia, New Zealand and China — on the Disney Channel, Disney Jr. and Disney Plus.

To whet the appetites of families everywhere, the Mouse House dropped the full official trailer for the minisode.
