Bindi Irwin has finally given fans the words they’ve been waiting years to hear: Crikey! It’s the Irwins is officially coming back. The beloved Animal Planet series, which gave viewers an inside look at the Irwin family’s work at Australia Zoo, is set to return with brand-new episodes that promise to honor Steve Irwin’s legacy while showcasing the next chapter of the family’s extraordinary journey.
The announcement, delivered in Bindi’s warm and heartfelt style, was more than just television news. It was a pledge—a reminder of the Irwin family’s commitment to conservation, education, and storytelling. “We are so grateful to share our lives and our work with the world,” Bindi told fans. “This series has always been about love—love for animals, love for family, and love for carrying Dad’s dream forward.”
The new season is expected to premiere later in 2025, though an exact release date has not yet been revealed. What fans can expect, however, is a deeper look into the evolving roles of the Irwin family. Bindi, now a mother herself, has often spoken about how raising her daughter Grace has given her a new perspective on her father’s passion and purpose. That sentiment, many believe, will shape the heart of the show’s return.
Robert Irwin, meanwhile, has stepped into a spotlight of his own, both in wildlife conservation and in the entertainment world. His appearances on international programs—and even his upcoming stint on Dancing with the Stars—have introduced him to new audiences. But at Australia Zoo, Robert remains his father’s son: handling crocodiles, caring for wildlife, and teaching the next generation about the wonders of nature.
Terri Irwin has also expressed excitement about the return, describing it as “an extension of Steve’s mission.” For her, the show is not just about animals but about the unbreakable bond of family and the power of storytelling to inspire global change. “Every animal we care for has a story,” she has said, “and every story has the potential to spark compassion.”
Fans have been eagerly awaiting the show’s return since its last season wrapped. Social media exploded after Bindi’s announcement, with viewers calling the news “a gift” and “the most exciting return on television.” Many expressed that Crikey! It’s the Irwins is more than entertainment—it’s comfort, inspiration, and a way to keep Steve’s spirit alive.
Industry insiders say the new season will balance intimate family moments with high-stakes wildlife rescues, capturing both the heartwarming and the thrilling aspects of life at Australia Zoo. For longtime fans, it’s a return to familiar joy. For new audiences, it’s an invitation into a world where passion meets purpose.
As Bindi put it best, “The adventure isn’t over—it’s only just beginning.” With that promise, the Irwin family is ready to step back onto screens around the globe, carrying their mission of conservation, love, and legacy into a new era.
