The Sign, the highly anticipated 28 minute long episode of Bluey, is set to air Sunday 14 April at 8am on ABC Kids and ABC iview.
Managing director, BBC Kids and Family Cecelia Persson, said the episode would be “an unmissable event for every Bluey fan worldwide,” and for those who were yet to become fans, it would be “a fantastic springboard into the incredible world of Bluey.”
Ghostbasket is the lead into The Sign, with both episodes penned by Bluey creator and writer Joe Brumm, directed by Richard Jeffery, and produced by Ludo Studios.
In Ghostbasket, the Grannies return, setting out to ruin Bandit’s attempts to sell the house to Chilli. It’s all fun and games until the final shot of the show, which zooms out to reveal an actual For Sale sign in front of the house.
As a result, those looking to move to Brisbane may stumble across a unique listing this week, as the iconic Bluey house is officially listed for sale on Domain.
“A quaint, animated family home nestled in an undisclosed Brisbane location, that could be in Red Hill or The Gap (we’ll never tell), with mid-century design aesthetics offset by whimsical touches,” the listing reads.
The Sign has a major roster of cameo voice talent: Patrick Brammall returns as the voice of Uncle Rad, with Megan Washington as Calypso, Claudia O’Doherty as Frisky, Myf Warhurst as Trixie, and Rose Byrne as Brandy. Making their Bluey voice debut, The Sign will also feature Rove McManus, Deborah Mailman, Brendan Williams, and Joel Edgerton.
“Bluey is one of the most-watched television shows in the world at the moment, which is just amazing,” BBC Studios director of brands and licensing ANZ, Kate O’Connor, told Mediaweek.
“We don’t take that for granted. It’s in more than 60 countries, 30 languages, it was the second most streamed show in the US last year, and definitely the most streamed show in Australia.”
