It is a revival of the 1996–2006 Blue's Clues TV series with a new host, Josh Dela Cruz. The series is produced by Nickelodeon Animation Studio and 9 Story Media Group's Brown Bag Films.
The series features new production designs and the characters (aside from the host) are animated digitally. The visual style remains similar to the style used in the original series. The show's producers recognized that its return was due to nostalgia.
