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?

One of the two remaining episodes of season 2, Christmas Swim, will air on December 1.

Will this be the first time Bluey airs on the main channel, or could it be a typo? Bluey’s evening repeats have always aired on ABC Kids.

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).

The article refers to 52 but also that it’s finished screening. Nothing about a finale on Christmas eve.

Perhaps they’ve held one back for some reason.

Bluey was named 11th in Rolling Stone’s top 20 TV shows of 2020. It was the only Australian program in the list.

Bluey TV series makes its theatrical debut on stage in Brisbane world premiere

Bluey — the much-loved, award-winning ABC children’s TV series — is set to make its theatrical debut in Brisbane tonight in what organisers are hailing as a creative and public health triumph.

After seven months of delays due to COVID-19 restrictions, Bluey’s Big Play, The Stage Show, will finally open at the Playhouse theatre as part of the Out of the Box Festival at the Queensland Performing Arts Centre (QPAC).

Developed by the Windmill Theatre Company, the show is believed to be the first premiere of a professional play at a full capacity theatre anywhere in the world since the coronavirus pandemic hit in March.

The theatre adaptation brings TV characters Bluey, Bingo, Bandit and Chilli to life through giant puppets.

The production is set to play at QPAC until January 10 before embarking on a national tour of 50 towns and cities.
