Bluey has confirmed its first-ever global release date for its next set of episodes.

The hugely popular animated kids' series will return in April, with Disney confirming that new episode 'Ghostbasket' will premiere globally on Disney+ on the same day (April 7) as its Australian premiere on ABC Kids – a show first.

It will also broadcast on Disney Junior and Disney Channel, hitting every region where Disney+ is available except for China and New Zealand.

The following week on April 14, Bluey will continue its global release strategy with its longest-ever episode 'The Sign' – clocking in at a record 28 minutes.

The hit Australian show follows the adventures of Blue Heeler puppy Bluey and her life with her family – namely father Bandit, mother Chilli, and younger sister Bingo.

Earlier this month, several famous faces including Kylie and Dannii Minogue were confirmed for new spin-off series Bluey Book Reads, which sees the stars bring various Bluey storybooks to life.

Kicking off on February 12 with the Minogue sisters reading Mini Bluey, the series will also see The Office's Jenna Fischer and Killing Eve's Camille Cottin (among others) reading tales released bi-weekly on Bluey.tv and Bluey's YouTube channel.

"Mini Bluey was perfect for us for obvious reasons: big sister and little sister!" Kylie previously said. "It reminded me so much of being kids growing up in Australia. It's a funny, sweet and heart-warming tale of being yourself and encouraging others to do the same.

"I hope people have as much fun watching as Dannii and I had making this beautiful episode of Bluey Book Reads."
