Australia: Home to the World’s Biggest Streaming Hit
Ludo Studio, founded in Brisbane in 2012 by Daley Pearson and Charlie Aspinwall, has built “Bluey” into arguably the biggest animation success story in streaming history. Nielsen ranked it the #1 most-streamed title in the US across all of 2025, ahead of live-action giants like “Grey’s Anatomy” and “Stranger Things,” despite most episodes running under 10 minutes — its second consecutive year topping the chart. BBC Studios and Disney have since announced the first-ever “Bluey” feature film. Sydney’s Flying Bark Productions, tracing its roots to 1967’s Yoram Gross Film Studios and now a Studio 100 subsidiary, is producing three concurrent Netflix series — “Ghostbusters,” “Minecraft” and “Clash of Clans” — alongside original feature “Zac Power,” and has expanded with new offices in Los Angeles and Madrid.
Key Stat
“Bluey” logged more than 45 billion streaming minutes in the US in 2025 alone — the most of any title on any platform, in any genre, for the second year running (Nielsen).
