The third series of Ready, Steady, Wiggle! (sometimes called Ready, Steady, Wiggle! 3) is, in contrast to series 1 and 2, the last series to feature The Wiggles' 2013-2021 line-up.
Released after Wiggle Wiggle Wiggle! and The Wiggles' World, this series does not return to the story format and structure of Ready, Steady, Wiggle! series 1 and 2 as the use of this title would imply. When it was first announced in 2020, on-set photos indicated it would resemble the first two series, but this approach was soon scrapped.
The series exclusively features songs that are recorded specifically for the series, as the last few TV series had done. There are no concert songs featured, possibly due to episode length and the increased focus on spoken segments. The Bok the Hand Puppet segment debuts the titular puppet who speaks to guests, among them people who were in the "We're All Fruit Salad" music video and the original purple wiggle, Jeff.
A continuation of the series premiered in 2023, featuring Tsehay as the yellow Wiggle, as well as the secondary cast of Wiggles.
