The creator of Bluey has announced he will step away from the wildly popular Australian children's animated series, leaving fans devastated. Joe Brumm penned a gut-wrenching open letter to parents, confirming 'The Sign' will mark his TV finale for the show, as he now focuses on Bluey's first-ever movie, set for release in cinemas worldwide in 2027.
'I always said I wouldn't keep making the show if I thought I couldn't make any new season as good as the last,' Brumm said. 'This would have been the case for me with a potential season four, so I've decided to take a break from my involvement in the TV series.
'In the event I can't wrap my head around doing more seasons myself, The Sign will mark my TV finale for Bluey and I wrote it as such.'. The Aussie animator and director explained how creating the highly successful, award-winning kids' show featuring the fan favourite Blue Heeler puppy has 'completely changed my life'.
'It's been an immensely satisfying thing to be a part of, more than I can really put into words,' he said. 'To walk away from it while it's at such a height will seem crazy to some but, for now, I am finding it difficult to reach back genuinely into that four to six-year-old world and write authentically.'.
The creator of Bluey has made a shock announcement that he will step away from the wildly popular Australian children's animated series, leaving fans devastated. However, Brumm quickly reassured parents that the show will go on without him. 'To be clear, this is not an announcement about the end of the show, but it is an acknowledgment that my focus will be on the film,' he said.
