Beloved Australian children’s show Bluey has achieved a milestone achievement, becoming the most streamed TV series across America in 2024.
The world famous ABC Kids series has been watched among US viewers for 35billion minutes this year, according to Nielsen Media Research.
Executive producer Daley Pearson took to social media on Tuesday to celebrate the global success of his TV series.
‘Bluey’s now the number one most watched show (of all) in America for 2024. How incredible. With 35 billion minutes watched this year,’ Pearson wrote.
Meanwhile, the US Embassy in Australia commented on Pearson’s post to congratulate his team on their success: ‘All our kids love it (and now use the word dunny)! Congratulations!’
Bluey, which streams on Disney+ in America, narrowly beat the competition, including House of the Dragon, Grey’s Anatomy and Family Guy.
The Aussie cartoon was also the second most streamed show in America in 2023, coming just behind the legal drama Suits.
It follows reports that kids in the United States are beginning to speak with an unmistakable Australian twang after tuning in to Bluey, a series that follows a lovable family of blue heelers.

The cartoon has become wildly popular in the US after premiering on the Disney Channel, Disney Junior and Disney+ in September 2019.
In 2020, The New York Times described the show as ‘the biggest Australian export since The Wiggles’ – the country’s most famous children’s band.
The cartoon stays true to its true-blue roots and is packed with ‘g’day’ greetings and unmistakably Aussie phrases like ‘show us your thongs, muffin!’
Meanwhile, Bluey is also the top dog on Australian television, setting new viewership records for the ABC and ABC Iview.
