  • To feature the new Nickelodeon Productions ending tag with the new splat logo designed by Rogers Animation.
  • To be released exclusively on iTunes, Apple TV+, Amazon Prime Video and YouTube’s paid movies and TV episodes program, following its illegal content purge removal from Paramount+ on March 28, 2024, alongside fellow Nick Jr./Noggin series Ryan’s Mystery Playdate and Santiago of the Seas being dropped from the streaming service’s lineup on the same day.
  • Where Slippery Soap is now voiced by Lexi Perri instead of Jacob Soley.
  • Where host Joshua Dela Cruz serves as consulting producer while still playing Josh.
  • To have Nick Balaban reprising his role as Mr. Salt.
• Tickety Tock makes a non-speaking appearance in the audience. However, even if Tickety doesn't speak, her reboot seasons 1-4 voice actress Ava Augustin is leaving alongside Jacob Soley and will be replaced by Maja Vujicic starting with Blue's Big Backyard Carnival.
• The Pawprint was green even though it has always been blue and it was similar to Green Puppy’s.
• In What Does Blue Want to Make Out of Recycled Things, Steve and Blue recycled things and they found a tissue box when Steve and Josh had the sniffles from Steve Gets the Sniffles and Getting Healthy with Blue and a milk carton to recycle them. When Steve cleaned the Pawprint to recycle it, Blue recycled the Pawprint by taking it off the screen and the music of Blue putting the Pawprint on the screen was reversed and putting it back on her paw. Next Steve helped the Recycle Bins Paper, Plastic, and Metal by giving them the same things made of the same things and he gave Metal a soup can and aluminum foil, Plastic a juice bottle, and Paper a milk carton, then Steve and Blue helped Tickety Tock find out what to do with buttons, paper, and a coffee can and Blue put the buttons in the coffee can, put the paper around it and a lid on and made a maraca, then Mailbox had a paper wrapper and had throw it out but learned to recycle, and lastly, Steve and Blue skidooed to Recycle Town to Help Al Aluminum recycle things by making a cup with another cup and string to make a telephone, an old tire to make a tire swing on a tree, and holders that soda cans go in to make a volleyball net, and Al Luminum called Steve Stu, Stone, and Stan by mistake and before leaving, Steve played a joke and called Al Sal, and Blue wanted to make a guitar, which was the answer to Blue’s Clues (a guitar), when Blue left three clues on a paper towel roll, a tissue box, and rubber bands, and Paper, Plastic, and Metal, Tickety Tock, and Al Luminum arrived to see the guitar.
