Joe Exotic Vows To Make A Deal With The Devil In Tiger King 2 Trailer
Netflix is promising a âwilderâ and âdeadlierâ take on the saga of Joe Exotic when the Emmy-nominated series âTiger Kingâ returns next month.
The streaming network on Wednesday unveiled a dramatic trailer for âTiger King 2,â the five-episode follow-up to the documentary that captivated viewers in early 2020. The clip picks up where Season 1 left off, with Exotic serving a 22-year prison sentence for attempting to hire a hitman to murder Big Cat Rescue founder Carole Baskin, as well as for federal wildlife violations.

And, from the looks of it, the new episodes will also delve further into the 1997 disappearance of Baskinâs first husband, Don Lewis, who has since been legally declared dead.
âThereâs an innocent man in prison,â Exotic proclaims in the trailer as the song âMaybe This Timeâ from the musical âCabaretâ is played. âEverybody from the zoo is out there making money, and Iâm paying the price for every one of them people. If you give a damn, itâs time to speak up.â

Joe Exotic in 2013. Associated PressSpeaking to The Wrap last year, co-director Rebecca Chaiklin acknowledged that the release of âTiger Kingâ in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic meant that the series âcaught fire in a way that it would never haveâ during a less fraught time.
Whether viewers will still be interested in Exoticâs story more than 18 months later, of course, remains to be seen. The documentaryâs success spurred proposals for at least two television projects based on the true-crime case.
In July, however, actor Nicolas Cage confirmed that his plan to star as Exotic in an Amazon series had been scrapped because producers felt the script was âno longer relevant.â NBC, however, is forging ahead with a limited series featuring John Cameron Mitchell and Kate McKinnon as Exotic and Baskin.
