"Crikey! It's the Irwins!" is the new name of the TV series premiering on Animal Planet starring Robert, Bindi, and Terri Irwin, the children, and widow of the late Steve Irwin. The series is set to follow the Irwin family right at home at the Australia Zoo. The camera crew will be set to capture the trio in addition to Bindi's boyfriend, Chandler Powell, while they work at the zoo and care for over 1,200 animals. "It’s an amazing place to live. Our alarm clock in the morning is the tigers roaring," Robert says of Australia, adding that when you live in Australia, you live with the animals. The Irwin's return to television occurs over a decade after Steve Irwin's death. They intend to continue on with his legacy in conservation efforts and wildlife care. Instagram Bindi made it clear in the video promo of the series that she and her family are 'all about following in their dad's footsteps'. Steve Irwin passed away at the age of 44 in 2006 following a fatal stingray attack. Since Steve's death, the family has remained adamant about continuing Steve's work with wildlife, both on and off camera. Bindi co-hosted a Discovery Kids series called Bindi, the Jungle Girl and co-created a series of books called Bindi Wildlife Adventures. Robert hosted wildlife series Wild But True on Discovery Kids and has appeared on talk shows to publicly discuss his wildlife work. https://twitter.com/BindiIrwin/status/1039658569925156865 Terri has also commented on the new series as well, saying, "We work together, we live together. I love our animals and I love living here. We’re excited to share our work at Australia Zoo and our conservation adventures with the Animal Planet audiences all around the world."

The series is set to not only promote Irwin's continuation of Steve's conservation efforts but also provides a glimpse into their home life and what the future may hold for them, especially for Bindi and Robert as they grow older. Instagram Steve Irwin was not only known for his passion for wildlife and all animals alike, but also for his compassionate conservationism. His main concern was always about endangered species and how land clearing ultimately led to a loss of habitat for these creatures. Instead of preaching to people, he showed his audience his genuine excitement for the natural world and how animals can help our environment prosper. He ultimately founded the Steve Irwin Conservation Foundation which was later renamed "Wildlife Warriors Worldwide". His children and widow continue to carry on the work for this foundation today.
