BBC Studios Kids and Family onboard 30 licensing partners for animated show ‘Bluey’ for North and Latin America

BBC Studios Kids and Family, distributor and licensor for the animated series Bluey, is adding to its roster of licensing partners creating products based on the Emmy-winning series that has become a global household favourite.

Further building on its notable list of licensing partners are 15 new licensees in the U.S. and Canada and 15 across Latin America. The innovative, imagination-inspiring products, set to debut later this year and 2024, further help kids fully immerse themselves in Bluey's fun-filled world in new and exciting ways.
