Bluey

Hardly an exclusive for TV Week, she also mentioned this to the family she was talking to when Angela interviewed her on S10 / 10NF the other day for McHappy Day.

But it might have been revealed to TV Week first. It’s hard to have an “exclusive” with any celebrity these days when they give the same interview with 20 different media outlets.

Mary Bolling was on Today Extra during the week to talk about her deep knowledge of Bluey, which included her win on Hard Quiz in September this year, as well as the podcast Gotta Be Done with fellow ex-journalist Kate McMahon.

That will make it 50 episodes for season 2. However, if season 2 indeed has 52 episodes, is the ABC holding back the two remaining episodes for Christmas?

would that make more sense for timing and programming?

From today’s ABC upfronts


It mentions the season 2 finale will be shown on ABC Kids on Christmas Eve.

It’s already screened on ABC Kids. There is an encore screening on the main channel just before the news on Christmas Eve.

If it was Christmas Swim that aired on Tuesday this week, that will leave season 2 one episode short, as I hear the season will also have 52 episodes (Christmas Swim is episode 51).
