Since then, the world’s fascination with Joe Exotic et al hasn’t much wained, as well as we’ve had information of prequel called Investigating the Strange World of Joe Exotic, a miniseries starring Nicolas Cage, and also currently– drum roll please– the information of a second season.
Many thanks to the speedy that was 2020-21, we assumed nothing might amaze us anymore. After that came the rumours that Tiger King would be returning for one more completely unbalanced series. As well as guess what? It’s happening!
At the beginning of lockdown back in March 2020, Netflix kept us extensively captivated with the 10-part docuseries about the eccentric, gun-toting, country ballad-singing, tiger-owning Joe Exotic, who ran an exotic pet zoo and ultimately– looter alert– was banged up on fees of animal misuse and murder-to-hire entailing one Carole Baskin.
Netflix introduced the information previously today in a tweet, stating, “Tiger King is returning this year– and Season 2 assures equally as much chaos as well as insanity as Season 1!”
Joe Exotic has supposedly consented to participate in the series along with his spouse Dillon Passage and Jeff Lowe, that took over the zoo in 2016. As of yet, there’s no news on what the 2nd season would certainly require, specifically considering that Joe is offering a 22-year sentence in federal prison and also Jeff Lowe and also his better half, Lauren Lowe, are currently filming a spin-off show for Netflix.
He informed People: “It’ll be our story on the Tiger King with evidence to sustain our sides of the stories, and also it will certainly have to do with the transfer of all these gorgeous animals from Joe’s center to the new facility Jeff is set to open a brand-new zoo– Tiger King Park– in Oklahoma, and then the day-to-day battle of running something as big as a 60-acre animal park as well as all the ins and outs of the employment of zookeepers and combating every one of the pet legal rights teams.”
What about Baskin? While The Sun reported that the 59-year-old CEO of Big Cat Rescue was demanding ₤ 1 million to participate in the 2nd season, she refuted this to RadioTimes.com, saying that she had no wish to return.
“No one has asked me to participate in a 2nd round of Tiger King, Murder, Mayhem and Madness as well as there is no amount of money that would certainly create me to rely on the producers again after their sick dishonesty of the animals as well as me.”
She proceeded: “I wasn’t paid the first time around, although a number of individuals have actually come forward claiming they were paid. That goes against the extremely nature of a documentary together with many various other things that were organized and gotten of context.”
Netflix also confirmed they’re launching a bounty of juicy documentaries to keep us occupied through the winter months, including The Tinder Swindler, concerning the ladies who bought down a respected conman that posed as a playboy on Tinder; Bad Vegan, concerning a lady that falls in love with a conman that convinces her he can make her dog never-ceasing” (send out assistance); and Trust No One: The Hunt For The Crypto King, around– you thought it– a conman.
