It has been announced that 8-year-old Bindi Irwin will star in her own wildlife series starting next year. “Bindi, The Jungle Girl” was already filming when Bindi’s father, Steve, died tragically at the beginning of last month.

The show will air on Discovery Kids in the United States and a publicist for the channel said initially the show was “going to be a father-daughter thing,” and that “Steve and Bindi were very enthusiastic about doing the show together.”

According to Steve Irwin’s manager and friend John Stainton, the Crocodile Hunter will appear in the show, as some scenes were already shot before he passed away.
