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.

If you thought you already knew all there is to know about Joe Exotic, Netflix is here to prove you wrong. The streaming service has announced that a second season of the documentary series will be coming to a screen near you before the end of the year. 

The show’s first season followed Exotic as the titular character, and his longtime feud with fellow animal sanctuary owner, Carole Baskin. Exotic is currently serving a 22-year sentence for trying to have his rival assassinated. 

On its Twitter page, Netflix teased that season two promises just as much mayhem and madness as the first. Some footage of the new season also features in the service’s teaser trailer for its forthcoming shows. 

We’re already sharpening our claws in anticipation!

Cage revealed he won’t be playing the Tiger King in a series from Amazon and he implied the project has been shelved.

“We should clear the record,” Cage told Variety. “I read two excellent scripts, which I did think were excellent, but I think Amazon ultimately felt that it was material that had become past tense because it took so long for it to come together. They felt at one point that it was lightning in a bottle, but that point has since faded into the distance and it’s no longer relevant.”

Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness became a huge hit in 2020, with its story of the animal park owner and an alleged plot to murder an animal rights activist.

Cage recently received rave reviews for his performance in Pig and for his next role he’s playing himself in The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent. The film will follow Cage, who agrees to be part of a paid appearance at a billionaire super fan’s birthday party, which ends up being part of a CIA sting operation.

Finlay and Maldonado were both prominently featured in Tiger King. Netflix’s hit docu-series showed Finlay leaving Exotic after taking issue with his abusive behavior and becoming a family man. Maldonado, on the other hand, died after being involved in a gun accident.

According to the official synopsis, Peacock’s series will primarily focus on the rivalry between exotic animal park owner Joe “Exotic” Schreibvogel and big-cat rights activist Carole Baskin. After learning that Exotic breeds exotic animals, Baskin makes it her mission to stop him. Exotic, on the other hand, isn’t backing down and will try to get his revenge by all means.

The series, which uses Joe Exotic as its working title, previously nabbed Tony Award-winning actor John Cameron Mitchell to play the titular character and Emmy Award-winner Kate McKinnon as Baskin. Cougar Town’s Brian Van Holt will star as John Reinke, former zoo manager who worked for Exotic.

Ethan Frankel, known for his work on Shameless, serves as writer and executive producer on Joe Exotic. It was previously revealed that the series won’t be based on Netflix’s Tiger King but rather on Wondery podcast Joe Exotic: Tiger King, which was hosted by journalist Rob Moor.

One of these projects is a Kate McKinnon-led series about Carole Baskin and the Tiger King himself, Joe Exotic. Titled Joe Exotic, the limited series is now set to air on NBC, Peacock, and USA Network with Etan Frankel (Shameless, Friday Night Lights) writing and executive producing.

Joe Exotic will center on big cat enthusiast Carole Baskin (McKinnon), who learns that Joe “Exotic” Schreibvogel is breeding cats to make money. Baskin decides to try to shut down his venture, which leads to a rivalry. But it turns out that Baskin has her own secrets and Joe will stop at nothing to expose them.

Tiger King was released on March 20 and the docuseries reached an audience of 34.3 million viewers during its first 10 days on the network.

This is one of two projects set in Tiger King world—CBS Studios and Imagine Television are working on a series based on the Texas Monthly article “Joe Exotic: A Dark Journey Into the World of a Man Gone Wild,” by Leif Reigstad with Nicolas Cage set to play the lead.

The best part is that Nicolas Cage will play Joe in the eight-episode series produced by Imagine Television Studios and CBS Television Studios which is based on the Texas Monthly article, “Joe Exotic: A Dark Journey Into the World of a Man Gone Wild,” by Leif Reigstad.

The story will be about Joe Schreibvogel, a.k.a. Joe Exotic, an eccentric zookeeper in Oklahoma who tries to keep his park, while risking his own sanity. The series will explore how he came to be Joe Exotic and how he became lost in the character he created.

This will be Cage’s first regular television role of his career as he’s become known as a film actor in movies such as Leaving Las Vegas, Moonstruck, Raising Arizona, Face/Off, the National Treasure films, and the Ghost Rider films.

This is the second scripted series about Tiger King; the first was announced late last year and it’s based on the Wondery podcast “Joe Exotic” and it will star Kate McKinnon as Carole Baskin.

It is the most-watched and most-talked about show of the year. Everybody has been heading to Netflix to find out who Carole Baskin is and why on earth Joe Exotic has such a vendetta against her. The seven-episode series is full of twists and turns and fans are eager for more.

Fortunately, more Tiger King is on the way. The new episode will be titled “The Tiger King and I” and will star Joel McHale as the host. He will interview key members of the show including  John Reinke, Joshua Dial, John Finlay, Saff, Erik Cowie, Rick Kirkman, and Jeff and Lauren Lowe.

McHale said about the new episode: “On April 12 Netflix will release an eighth installment [of Tiger King] called The Tiger King and I. It’s an after-show hosted by me.

“I talk to a lot of people involved in the project…to see what has happened in their lives since the release of the series. It’s eye-opening and hopefully funny.”
