How Terri, Bindi and Robert are honouring Steve Irwin's legacy
Twenty years has passed since Steve Irwin first appeared on Animal Planet with his show The Crocodile Hunter.
The show was a huge success, giving Steve Irwin an international platform and turning him into a household name.
More than a decade since his tragic death, Steve Irwin’s family is returning to the network where it all started.
On Wednesday, Animal Planet announced that Terri, Bindi and Robert Irwin will be carrying on Steve’s legacy with new television projects on the network.
It has not yet been revealed what the shows will be, but it is safe to assume they will feature a great range of exotic animals.
"Steve Irwin was a champion for all wildlife and he and Terri's excitement and enthusiasm brought viewers from around the world in touch with nature," Patrice Andrews, general manager of Animal Planet, said in a press release.
“Their passion for animals, love for their family, and leadership in conservation awareness left a strong legacy that continues today. We are thrilled to have Terri, Bindi and Robert back in the Animal Planet family."
In recent years, Bindi has appeared on TV as a contestant on the US version of Dancing with the Stars in 2015 and Robert has hosted the Discovery Kids series Wild But True. Robert has also appeared on The Tonight Show several times. Terri has been busy continuing her efforts as an activist for conservation and supporting the Steve Irwin Wildlife Reserve in Cape York.
Bindi posted a video on Instagram featuring her mum and brother to celebrate the exciting news.
"Watch out for next year," Bindi said in the clip. "We have wonderful new adventures coming to your television screen."
