Set your alarms, tell your friends! The world premiere of The Sign, the hotly anticipated 28-minute special Bluey episode, will air Sunday 14 April at 8am on ABC Kids and ABC iview – before becoming available globally.
Celebrities across the globe want to be a part of the Bluey world! The Sign is jammed-packed with voice talent: Patrick Brammall returns as the voice of Uncle Rad, alongside Megan Washington as Calypso, Claudia O’Doherty as Frisky, Myf Warhurst as Trixie, and Rose Byrne as Brandy.
