It’s official: Tiger King is getting a sequel.
Bonus: It’s coming to Netflix sometime before the end of the year.
Netflix has confirmed the follow-up to the 2020 documentary breakout. The streamer promised “more madness and mayhem” and also released a brief teaser video (below).
A second edition of Tiger King has been long rumored and in August a listing for a Tiger King sequel was posted on a Netflix site, drawing headlines, but then it was removed.
Tiger King followed the life of zookeeper and convicted felon Joe Exotic and became a pop culture sensation in the early days of the coronavirus pandemic. A Peacock Joe Exotic miniseries starring Saturday Night Live‘s Kate McKinnon as Carole Baskin and John Cameron Mitchell as Joe Exotic is also currently in production.
