THE SERIES STARS THE WHOLE IRWIN CLAN

Bindi posted a teaser video of the new series, in which she will co-star with her brother, Robert, 14, and their mother, Terri, 54.

"Crikey! It's the Irwins" was inspired by Irwin's original series "The Crocodile Hunter". The series will show the family working with animals like crocodiles, tigers, and rhinos at Australia Zoo, which was founded by Irwin.

The "Crocodile Hunter" ran from 1997 through to 2006. The series is the second longest-running program of any Discovery Communications network show, behind "MythBusters".

The show ended when Steve Irwin died after sustaining heart injuries from a short-tail stingray barb that pierced his chest while he was filming an underwater documentary in Australia.
