BluishSome fans nervously speculated that this could be a grand finale, meaning our adventures with the Heeler family could soon be over. Luckily, ABC Australia has confirmed that this is currently the case “No plans to end the show.”
In fact, producer Daley Pearson told ABC Radio Brisbane that The Sign was actually a long-term test run Bluish Content, stating that the studio “would love to make one Bluish Movie.”
“There was an element of ‘Can an audience watch?’ Bluish for longer?'” said Pearson. “I think we’ll wait until Sunday to find out and that will help us figure out our own future.”
Judging by the response to “The Sign,” that future could well contain a silver screen.
