Listen up, all you cool cats and kittens — Carole Baskin is back. 

Almost two years since the release of the documentary series which made her a household name, the Tiger King star is getting a doccie of her own. 

The 2020 Netflix production was based around the long-running feud between Baskin and Joe Exotic. The founder of Big Cats Rescue claimed that Exotic had been abusing the big cats in his care through his traveling shows and commercial petting ventures, leading to the pair launching attacks on each other’s characters. 

Exotic is currently serving a 22-year jail sentence for trying to have Baskin killed. 

With her nemesis behind bars, the Dancing with the Stars contestant will helm a new series called Carole Baskin’s Cage Fight that will see her investigate the treatment of the cats at Great Wynnewood Exotic Animal Park which Joe previously owned. 

The animal rights activist will be joined by her husband Howard, their team, a retired homicide detective, and Exotic’s niece Chealsi for the Discovery+ documentary.

The Tiger King legacy is also continuing in other ways, with a sequel to the Netflix doccie set to be released on the streamer next month, as well as a limited series adaptation with Kate McKinnon starring as Baskin and John Cameron Mitchell as Exotic.
