It’s been 20 years since The Crocodile Hunter was first aired and nearly a decade since Irwin’s untimely death in 2006. Now the Irwin family is continuing Steve’s legacy by returning to Animal Planet with a new television show of their own, reports Good Housekeeping.

The show will be hosted by Terri, Bindi, and Robert. Bindi shared a video on her Instagram announcing the family’s return to TV.
