Nickelodeon has just released a video teaser for the revived “Blue’s Clues & You” children’s television series now hosted by Filipino-American Josh Dela Cruz.
The popular animated series for preschoolers which first aired in 1996 originally starred Steve Burns and a blue girl puppy on a puzzle adventure. The new show trailer has Josh and Blue in the same familiar scenes and sets with enhanced CGI features.
Dela Cruz was handpicked for the role by a search committee that included Steve Burns during auditions in 2018.
