Crikey! It’s the Irwins is making a move. After airing for two seasons on Animal Planet, the series is ready to air its third season on Discovery+ – the new streaming service that launched earlier this month. The reality series follows the Irwin family as they continue the mission started by Steve Irwin, to bring animals and people closer together.
Discovery+ revealed more about the return of the series in a press release.
“Season three of the award-winning series, CRIKEY! IT’S THE IRWINS, featuring Terri, Bindi and Robert Irwin, and Bindi’s husband Chandler Powell, premieres Sunday Feb. 7 on discovery+, the definitive non-fiction, real-life subscription streaming service. discovery+ features a landmark partnership with Verizon that gives their customers with select plans up to 12 months of discovery+ on Verizon. A sneak peek of the premiere episode will air on Animal Planet directly out of Puppy Bowl XVII on Sunday, Feb. 7 at 5 PM ET/PT.
CRIKEY! IT’S THE IRWINS features the Irwin family as they continue Steve Irwin’s mission to bring people closer to animals and inspire them to become Wildlife Warriors to help protect and preserve our environment and its animals.
With this mission in mind, the Irwins continue to take up the mantle during the global pandemic as the new season opens with Terri delivering the much-anticipated news that Australia Zoo will finally reopen after being closed for 78 days due to COVID-19; Bindi and the team at the wildlife hospital find themselves in a desperate race to save a dozen corellas; and Robert witnesses the incredible birth of three tiger cubs.
Prior to the challenges of the pandemic, Australia faced devastating brushfires that wreaked havoc on the country’s landscape and wildlife population. The Irwins efforts to help as many animals as possible are the focus of a special episode. This season will also follow personal family milestones as newlyweds Bindi and Chandler prepare to welcome their own little Wildlife Warrior to the world, and Robert learns how to drive with the help of Terri and Bindi in his dad’s iconic old ute.
Other CRIKEY! IT’S THE IRWINS stories this season include Terri and Robert secretly trying to guess the sex of Bindi’s baby, while Bindi and Chandler have their own surprise in store; Bindi and Terri assisting the zoo’s dedicated vet team as they treat a multitude of animals at the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital; Robert continuing his father’s legacy as he faces off with Bosco, the most aggressive crocodile at Australia Zoo; Chandler stepping up during the croc show for Robert when an injury prevents him from participating; and Bindi and Chandler studying coral bleaching on the Great Barrier Reef. Additionally, four rescued Sumatran Elephants arrive to Australia Zoo from Indonesia, fulfilling a dream that began over 30 years ago when Steve and Terri decided to fight for the survival of this critically endangered species.”

What do you think? Are you a fan of the Crikey! It’s The Irwins TV show? Do you plan to watch the third season on Discovery+?
so disappointed that it’s moving from Animal Planet. I can’t afford to pay anymore for TV and so I won’t be watching Discovery +.Have watched this family since Croc Hunter. again so disappointed that these new “+” channels are taking away shows.
I am mad Crikey! It’s the Irwin’s TV series was removed from Animal Planet network and moved to discovery +. We already pay for cable, everyone cannot afford to purchase all these new streaming networks that are launching. Please put season 3 episodes back on Animal Planet!!
Will this also be televised March 6
I love this show, and this family. What they are doing for animals and the planet is just beautiful. I haven’t decided yet if I will pay to steam it. I already pay $170 a month for cable and other streaming channels. This is really the only show on all of Discovery Plus that I really want to watch, which is a shame.
I agree JoAnn, it is a shame this show was removed from Animal Planet. Nope, I won’t be streaming it. I pay too much for cable and do not have extra $ to now stream every new network that launches.
Since the show will be on Discovery + we will not be able to watch it. Not paying extra and won’t have capability to watch if inclined to do so. No computer. It’s a shame we really enjoy their show.
Nope, won’t be streaming. Don’t know how, & can’t afford extra fees. I really liked this show. Just a shame that people with limited means & techno skills are being squeezed out by big business.
I already pay to watch the animal planet now I have to pay more ? Great show I wonder who made the decision to switch and charge their long time fans more money. What is this world coming to?
Yep you just lost a ton of viewers. Not going to pay for another subscription channel. Too bad, I loved this show!
Who care another network that what life how it goes don’t get upset on stupid tv show. Let it go okay love crocodile hunter.
Well I am done watching Crikey! It’s the Irwins because I already pay way too much now just to watch re-runs or just play cards because there is nothing on TV now ??? I am NOT going to pay more to watch all the new TV shows on the internet at an extra fee that I already pay too much now to watch shows made back in the 40s and 50s ???? WEIRD at a time in our world that there is no money and folks passing on they have to find a new way to get folks to pay… Read more »
Sorry, I don’t want to pay for another subscription service!
No I won’t because I’m not going to pay extra for Discovery +. It’s too bad because I really enjoyed their show.
Crikey it’s the Irwin’s is available for Amazon Prime, I’ve got nothing to worry about it, but I do agree that I’m not getting Discovery + to watch this show , I’ve been watching the show since it came on animal planet
Very disappointed that it moved. You are eliminating all of us who do not stream. It was my “don not miss” show.
So angry! I enjoyed this series very much so now- of course- they have to move it to paid service. What a big rip off
