Bluey Is Going on a Break: Writers Plan Hiatus After Season Three

The team behind everyone’s favorite children’s show Bluey is taking some much-needed time off. After three heartwarming seasons filled with important life lessons and family-friendly laughs, the writers and producers behind the beloved Australian show will take a pause before tackling season four.

“We are just going to get our heads on a bit, it’s been four or five years and we’ve made 154 episodes, it is kind of unprecedented to do that back-to-back,” he explained in an interview with The Courier Mail.

“It was very intense…we are just coming to the end of season three and trying to think about what’s the best way to make it better. We have all secretly agreed with each other that we wouldn’t keep making Bluey if it wasn’t as good as the one that came before, so we want to make sure we keep doing that,” he added.

Families around the world may be saddened to hear they’ll have to wait a little longer until they can spend more time with their favorite Heeler clan, but producers did at least dispel the gossip around the end of the series. “Part of it is just not pushing to come back. We are resting; the more we ask ourselves [when work will begin on season four], the longer it will be, which is why I hesitate talking about it too much,” Pearson said.

In the meantime, parents and their kiddos can savor the second part of season three, which just dropped on Disney+ last week, and still have a few parts to look forward to. Australia has yet to set a date for the three-part season three finale, and Americans are still waiting for part three of the season.
