Steve Irwin’s Family To Return To Animal Planet
The video is a sweet glimpse into the private lives of the Crocodile Hunter and his family, especially for those who were and still are fans of Steve.
When Irwin died, his wife Terri was left to raises their two children, and they left Animal Planet. In 2018, the family returned to the network with a new show.
“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, Animal Planet’s general manager said at the time. “Their passion for animals, love for their family, and leadership in conversation awareness left a strong legacy that continues today. We are thrilled to have Terri, Bindi and Robert back in the Animal Planet family.” In 2018, the family starred in "Crikey! It's the Irwins." The show was renewed for a second season on January 24, 2019.
