Fans of the beloved children's TV show Bluey were recently hit with some tough news - the show's creator, Joe Brumm, announced that he would be stepping away from the series. This has left many fans worried about the future of their favorite animated show.
In a statement on the show's official website, Joe, who is 46 years old, explained that after six years of working on Bluey, he felt it was time for him to take a break. He shared that he "couldn't wrap his head around doing more seasons" and needed to focus on other projects, specifically the show's first feature film set to be released in 2027.
Although Joe assured viewers that Bluey would continue, some fans are concerned about a possible decline in quality without Joe at the helm. On Reddit, one fan expressed their worries, saying, "Considering how much of a fantastic writer he is and how much he understands the characters, I’m a bit worried about a possible decline in quality if another writer or writers take his place."
Others echoed this sentiment, with one fan writing, "It's scary, and Bluey's such a singular vision that it's only right that it is, but I choose to be optimistic." It's clear that Joe's departure has left many fans feeling uncertain about the future of the show.
In his full statement, Joe shared that he had been working on another project when the idea for a Bluey feature film came to him. He wrote, "Fast forward through a tonne of contracting and we're about to embark on making an animated Bluey movie!" However, he also acknowledged the difficult decision to step away from the TV series, saying, "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."
Joe's decision to leave the show has been met with a mix of emotions from fans. While some are devastated, others understand and respect his choice. One fan on Twitter shared, "Joe Brumm making his departure from Bluey is a decision I respect, but also one that breaks my heart."
Joe also expressed his gratitude for the amazing team he has worked with on Bluey, saying, "My Bluey crew and all the creative people in my life completely understand my decision. Working with that wonderful group of people has been the absolute highlight of my animation career."
He also made it clear that this is not the end of Bluey, but rather a shift in his focus towards the film. He added, "To be clear, this is not an announcement about the end of the show, but it is an acknowledgment that my focus will be on the film."
As fans come to terms with Joe's exit, they are also reminiscing on the impact Bluey has had on their lives. One fan wrote, "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." This sentiment is shared by many, as the show has become a global sensation, with fans in over 140 countries.
Although there may be some changes in the future of Bluey, one thing is for sure - the show has left a lasting impression on its fans and will continue to bring joy and laughter to households around the world. As one fan put it, "In the worst-case scenario, we've got the 3 brilliant seasons so far, we've got the movie on the horizon, and nothing will take any of that away from us."
