Blue's Clues & You!

**Blue's Clues & You!** is the reboot of *Blue's Clues*. It premiered on Nickelodeon on November 11, 2019. It is the third series in the franchise, after the original show and *Blue's Room*.

The reboot/show introduces a new host, Josh (played by Joshua Dela Cruz), as well as two new members of the Spice Family: twins Sage and Ginger. The animated characters' designs were all updated for the show. The two original hosts Steve and Joe occasionally appear as recurring characters.

## History

It was first announced by Nickelodeon at its upfront presentation on March 6, 2018. According to *Variety*, twenty episodes have been ordered and filming began during summer 2018. On September 19, 2019, the show was renewed for a second season, premiered in August 2020. On February 19, 2020, the show was renewed for a third season. On February 18, 2021, the show was renewed for a fourth season. A female host is to work on being in the season. She has started practicing in October 2021.

Nickelodeon held an open casting call for a potential host on April 14, 2018. The auditions were held at their studio in Burbank, California. The network sought applicants 18 years or older of all ethnicities.

Like the original show, there is a live-action host in an animated world. The reboot features all-new production design and animation. The visual style remains true to the original, but the characters are rendered in CGI, as depicted in a teaser image.

## Characters

The designs of most of the main animated characters were updated for the reboot. Most notably, Cinnamon is taller and now wears a baseball cap. Paprika is also taller and mostly carries a cell phone with her. Some minor changes were also made to the main characters of the show, like giving The Shakers details on their seasoning color, giving Mailbox a metallic shine, and even giving Sidetable Drawer a wooden texture. The reboot introduces characters, including spice twins Sage and Ginger (who were born on "Big News with Blue", the remake of "Blue's News").

Magenta also appears in the reboot, though she has been shown without glasses like she first did. She has got them again later throughout the reboot, and at an earlier time, in "Getting Glasses With Magenta". Other characters may reappear in the reboot. One of the chicks was shown in the living room picture in a production screenshot, and Periwinkle's house can be seen in the background of the theme song as well as several episodes, and he, like the original, will be introduced in season three. Also, original hosts Steve and Joe make recurring appearances, but in rare times (e.g. Meet Josh!).
