BBC Studios secures global partnership with Hasbro for Bluey

BBC Studios has sealed a worldwide partnership with Hasbro for co-branded classic games and Play-Doh inspired by hit preschool brand, Bluey.

The new range will feature Bluey editions of the board games Monopoly Junior and Trouble, as well as Play-Doh and will start rolling out in the US and Canada in April, followed by other territories later in 2022 and 2023.

“Bluey is a global sensation and we’re delighted to partner with a world-class company like Hasbro to give kids and families exciting new opportunities to extend the fun and imagination-fueled play of the series beyond the screen,” commented Suzy Raia, svp consumer products and business development, BBC Studios Americas. “Hasbro’s brands are unmatched, and we look forward to a long and successful partnership that will let fans experience the joy and adventures of Bluey in creative new ways.”

Kim Boyd, head of global brands and consumer innovation at Hasbro, continued: “We’re thrilled to partner with BBC Studios to bring Bluey inspired games and Play-Doh products to kids and families. We feel that the Bluey team shares our mission of making the world a better place for all children, fans and families by helping them create memories that last a lifetime and inspire fans to dream big and imagine new possibilities.

“Bluey has captured the attention of kids around the world and we’re proud to help the brand grow through consumer products.”

Bluey Monopoly Junior and Bluey Trouble will launch exclusively on Amazon in the US and Canada this month, followed by Australia and New Zealand in July. The two board games start rolling out in the UK and France in 2023.

The Bluey Play-Doh introduction – Bluey Make n Mash Costumes Set – will be released as a Walmart exclusive in the US on 1 August and debut in the UK, Australia and New Zealand the same day, followed by France in spring 2023. Additional Bluey co-branded product, territories and retailers will be announced soon.
