Bluey is coming back to cure those back-to-school blues. Yes, you read that right. The second round of bite-sized episodes -- aka "Minisodes"-- will hit Disney Plus in October. These Bluey Minisodes may be bite-sized, but as we saw with the first seven episodes that premiered in July, they still delivered delightful goods.
Audiences will get seven more Aussie-accented life lessons from the Heeler family. As you can see from the first-look clip below, even Bluey and Bingo's Nana gets in on the fun.
Disney announced the Bluey Minisodes in May, with 20 short episodes set to drop throughout the year. Each one clocks in at roughly one to three minutes in length, making for a surprisingly easy weekend binge. Your kiddo, like mine, may play them all on repeat throughout the day, making for screen time that can be fun for the whole family.
Bluey first premiered to TV in 2018. The series was created by Joe Brumm and is 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 US and global viewers -- who reside outside of Australia, New Zealand and China -- on the Disney Channel, Disney Jr. and Disney Plus.
