It’s the most wholesome show on TV, but Bluey has just upset children and adults everywhere by hinting at some devastating news.
The hit Australian preschool kids show – which follows an animated family of dogs made up of Bluey, her sister Bingo, her dad Bandit, and her mum Chilli – has become an international hit with kids and parents alike.
But the creators might have just committed and unforgivable crime after revealing that the Heeler family have put their house up for sale, indicating that future episodes might take place elsewhere.
With the Queenslander house now regarded as ‘a fifth character’ by some viewers, Bluey fans everywhere have reacted with immense shock at the news, with some kids apparently threatening to never watch it again.
Posting on X, Marc Watterson replied to award-winning Bluey creator Daley Pearson: ‘What have you done? My kids haven’t stopped talking about it all day.’
The post was made in response to a tweet made by Daley that shared a link to a mock-up of a house listing on the website of Domain, an Australian real estate company similar to Rightmove.
Marc then explained that his kids have been asking where the Heeler family would move to, whether they would be leaving their neighbourhood friends and popular characters behind, and threatening to boycott the show.
‘I will never watch the show again if they move and Rusty isn’t in it anymore!’ Mark added – Rusty is Bluey’s friend from school and makes frequent appearances in the series.

During the latest episode of Bluey, which is now in its third season, fans were worried that the family might be leaving the home that’s been at the centre of the show since the beginning.
Twitter user Urthboy said, ‘My kid cried after yesterday’s episode, worrying about them moving,’ while Belinda described the Domain post as ‘salt in the wound’.
Show writer Joe Brumm told Domain of the decision to have the Heeler family move: ‘It feels like after three seasons the house itself has become a sort of fifth Heeler character.
‘Some past episodes have touched on how a room can become imbued with memories and take on a life of its own. But families leave houses all the time.’
He added: ‘It happened to me as a kid around the same age Bluey and Bingo are, and then again a bit later on. I still remember it vividly.’
Next week’s episode, which has an extended run-time of 28 minutes as opposed to the usual short running time of 10-12 minutes, is called ‘The Sign’, indicating that an estate agent may be putting a ‘for sale’ sign up soon.
However, some fans saw the funny side, with Daley adding a fake phone number to the tweet that, if dialled, goes through to estate agent Bucky Dunstan, who is working to sell the house.
Bluey has become a huge hit across the world, with parents finding themselves becoming just as attached to the characters as their little ones.
Bluey is available to stream on Disney Plus.
