That's right folks: the award-wining kids' show will be returning in April with a new episode and its first ever special, which will also be its longest ever episode at 28 minutes.

Bluey first aired back in 2018, introducing viewers to the wild antics of the Heeler family.

The 2D animation about a family of Cattle Dogs in Brisbane captures the glee of childhood and parenting, and soon became a firm family favourite.

The new episodes will air first in Australia. But when are they set to land in the UK, and how can viewers watch them?
