- He does state that this is not the end of the show.
- Below you can see the letter that he wrote.
Letter From Joe Brumm:
- “I’m writing this to share some Bluey news – some good, some trifficult.
- Let’s start with the good – after some time spent away from the series, working on another project, an old idea resurfaced and before I knew it, I’d written a Bluey feature script that I really love. Fast forward through a tonne of contracting and we’re about to embark on making an animated Bluey movie!
- Now, for the trifficult. 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.
- 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.
- 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 and I hope Bluey on their CV is a badge of pride for them.
- 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.
- Thank you for taking this show into your homes, the whole experience has been an impossible experience to describe.”
