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+?
I am so sick of the BS “streaming” channels. It’s just an excuse to get more money out of you. We already pay $300 a month for cable, and now i have to have all of the networks streaming channels to watch “streaming” episodes only. What a scam. I’ve watched them from day one. Oh well, not paying more money to watch tv channels we already pay for. 🙁
I love crikey however I don’t have discovery plus so I think it needs to be available for everyone at least on animal planet make it available please
I do not have discovery + there for I can’t watch it anymore? Why isn’t it on animal planet anymore very sad
I am very sad to hear the crikey it is the irwins moved to Discovery plus cable TV is already so expensive with all the boxes that you have to purchase and now a lot of the channels are moving to Discovery plus shame on you people are not rich especially during the pandemic this is a shame that you have done this to other people that loved a lot of these shows but I will not be paying extra money to watch this show I will miss this series very much but will not pay extra money shame shame… Read more »
I agree it’s such a shame I to will not pay xtra for discovery +
I like this show, I am excited to see the new season
Such a shame it’s on discovery +. I tried it and discovered that it isn’t available on any of the platforms that my family uses so we had to cancel.
Such a shame they moved to Discovery+. I’ve already taken it off my list to record. I already pay too much for cable, just won’t pay more.
I have followed the Irwin’s since it first came on. I’m very saddened that I will no longer get to watch this. Cable and satellite tv are expensive enough and now I’ll have to pay more to watch this show. Well I won’t be watching no more. Can’t believe they would go along with this with a pandemic going on. Some of us aren’t rich. Such a shame.
I love crikey it’s the irwins its not fair to keep those of us who don’t have access to discovery plus I think it should still air on animal planet its so disappointing
I am terribly upset that some of my favorite shows like Crikey it’s the Irwin’s ,Naked and Afraid and probably more are not going to be on the regular Discovery Channel. I think it in fair with so much going on that I order to watch my favorite shows I have to pay on top of what I already pay for the regular Discovery channel. I guess I will have to give up watching Discovery. Very disappointed.
I love the Irwins and the show, but WILL NOT pay to watch it. Sorry.
i love the show but will not pay another premium to watch it, when i am already paying for the animal planet
I enjoy the show but I WILL NOT pay extra to get Discovery +! Cable costs enough.
Love This Show !
Shame on You for making people pay more during this Pandemic! Loss of Jobs and Lives ! No longer a Fan !
We love the show but we won’t pay to watch it so if it’s not on Animal planet or just tv then we won’t be watching anymore
