Bindi Irwin, the 8-year-old daughter of the late 'Crocodile Hunter' Steve Irwin, is to star in a wildlife series.
The 26 episode series entitled 'Bindi, The Jungle Girl' will debut in January on the Discovery Kids network.
The show, now in the early stages of production, was originally "going to be a father-daughter thing," starring the nature-loving duo, Discovery publicist Annie Howell told the Associated Press.
"Steve and Bindi were very enthusiastic about doing the show together."
People magazine reports that Steve Irwin will appear in the series in the form of segments that were taped before he was killed by a stingray's barb in a freak diving accident on the Great Barrier Reef last month.
Besides Bindi, conservationist Steve Irwin left behind her mother, Terri, and 2-year-old brother, Bob.
