Bluey fans have been left saddened after learning the creator of the beloved animated series will be stepping away to focus on the new movie.
Creator Joe Brumm announced the ‘trifficult’ news via his blog, stating the upcoming fourth season would move forward without his involvement.
While viewers were happy to hear the cartoon would be headed to theatres, fans were also saddened to hear the next season would not involve Brumm.
‘I always said I wouldn’t keep making the show if I thought I couldn’t make any new season as good as the last,’ Brumm said in his announcement. ‘This would have been the case for me with a potential season four, so I’ve decided to take a break from my involvement in the TV series. In the event I can’t wrap my head around doing more seasons myself, The Sign will mark my TV finale for Bluey and I wrote it as such.’
‘Bluey has completely changed my life. It’s been an immensely satisfying thing to be a part of, more than I can really put into words. To walk away from it while it’s at such a height will seem crazy to some but, for now, I am finding it difficult to reach back genuinely into that four to six year old world and write authentically.
