The first two seasons of Bluey will be shown on TV5, starting April 29.
Bluey, the well-loved kid show featuring the titular dog, has been getting kids’ and parents’ attention abroad. And good news—it will finally be shown in the Philippines!
In a press release, BBC Studios confirmed that the first two seasons of the show will be shown on TV5. The show, which will be dubbed in Filipino, will be shown every Monday to Friday from 7 AM to 8 AM and on weekends from 8 AM to 9 AM.
Sophia Spinelli, VP of Brands and Marketing, BBC Studios Asia said that they’re excited to take the show to the Philippines after a long time.
“Bluey has become such a huge hit worldwide and we are thrilled to be making Bluey more accessible to audiences in the Philippines with our partners at TV5. This is the first step in our ambitious plans to expand Bluey’s presence in the Philippines, both on-screen and off-screen for local fans to fully immerse themselves in the world of Bluey and her wonderful Blue Heeler family.”
Guido Zaballero, President and Chief Executive Officer of TV5 on the other hand shared they are thrilled to bring Bluey to the Filipino kids.
“The Kapatid Network is proud and excited to be Bluey‘s home channel in the Philippines! We do not doubt that it will be a big hit with our Filipino audiences—bringing a lot of joy and laughter to families across the Philippines!”
Bluey is creating a lot of attention!
Since it was first launched in 2018 in Australia, Bluey has gained a lot of attention among families. Celebrities like Natalie Portman, Eva Mendes, and Lin-Manuel Miranda have even made cameos in some of its episodes.
Bluey tells the story of a “loveable, inexhaustible, Blue Heeler dog, who lives with her Mum, Dad, and her little sister, Bingo. In the show, Bluey uses her limitless energy to play games that unfold in unpredictable and hilarious ways, bringing her family and the whole neighborhood into her world of fun.”
It has been one of the most streamed children’s shows in the US and has won several awards including the 2019 International Emmy Kids Award and 2022 British Academy Film Awards (BAFTA) for the Children & Young People Award in the International Category.
