Bluey will be available as Gaeilge on RTE KIDSjr and RTE Player from Monday, April 6th.
Kids will be able to learn new words in the Irish language alongside one of their favourite characters as the series follows Bluey, a loveable, inexhaustible, Blue Heeler dog, who lives with her Mum, Dad and her little sister, Bingo.
Bluey uses her limitless energy to play games that unfold in unpredictable and hilarious ways, bringing her family and the whole neighbourhood into her world of fun.
Twenty-six episodes from the first series have been translated into Irish and episodes will be available to stream from Monday, April 6th.
If you fly through the first season as Gaeilge, more translated episodes will be available later this year.
The series has been voiced in Irish by Conamara actors Gráinne Bleasdale as Bluey, Laoise Ní Nualláin as little sister Bingo, Meadhbh Ní Eidhin as Mam, Chilli and Pól Ó Gríofa as Dad, Bandit.
Following its debut in Australia in 2018, Bluey gained millions of fans around the world and is now one of the most-watched animated TV series.
The BAFTA and multi-Emmy Award-winning show was the number one kids show on RTÉ Player in 2025 and continues to be in 2026.
Suzanne Kelly, RTÉ Group Head of Children’s and Young People’s Content said: “We are so thrilled to be welcoming Bluey as Gaeilge to RTÉ KIDSjr.
“Bluey has established itself as a firm family favourite across our service, and now we get to introduce Bluey, Bingo, Mum and Dad to a whole new audience!
“So, tune into Bluey as Gaeilge, coming soon to RTÉ KIDSjr. In the words of Bluey... it's "gotta be done!”
Dermot Horan, RTÉ Director of Acquisitions and Co-Productions said: “RTÉ is delighted to be able to offer our younger viewers the choice to now watch Bluey, one of the most popular pre-school shows in the world, as Gaeilge.
“This follows on from our successful launches of Peppa Pig (Peppa Muc) and Thomas and Friends (Tomás agus a Chairde) in Irish, and is all part of our strategy to make the biggest kids’ brands available to parents and children in both Irish and English.”
Bluey as Gaeilge will begin on RTÉ KIDSjr on April 6th, and ad free on RTÉ Player any time.
