A producer of the hit animation Bluey has reassured parents and kids “it’s not the end” after worried fans were left confused by a cryptic conclusion to the latest episode.
Bluey, the animated children’s TV show which features a playful family of animated dogs, left fans concerned the popular Australian series could be coming to an end.
The latest episode of the current series showed a ‘For Sale’ sign outside the Heelers’ much-loved home in a suburb of Brisbane, Queensland.
It was also the first episode in all three series to end without any music.

The next episode is called ‘The Sign’ and will have an extra-long runtime of 28 minutes.
But a producer quashed online rumours the orange and blue canines might disappear from their screens.
Sam Moor told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme: “It’s just the question that’s on everyone’s lips – no it’s not the end for Bluey, I’m sure we’ve got many more surprises in store for you.”

It is thought after this current series, which is streamed on Disney+ and is a joint production between the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and BBC Studios, a full-length movie could be the next project for the creators.
Producers previously said the 28-minute episode, which is four times as long as a normal episode, could be a test for a feature length Bluey movie.
On the popularity of the show which is worth more than £2bn, Ms Moor added: “It’s a co-viewing show – mum, dad and kids can all enjoy it together.
“People have said to us, ‘it’s like you’ve got a camera in our living room filming my life’. So it’s very relatable for kids, it’s relatable for parents.”
Viewers will have to wait until Sunday 14 April to find out exactly what lies ahead for the Heelers.
