Buckle Up, 'Tiger King 2' Is Coming to Netflix

Buckle Up, 'Tiger King 2' Is Coming to Netflix

Good news, all you cool cats and kittens; Tiger King is returning to our screens. A second season of the true crime documentary series has just been formally announced by streaming giant Netflix, no doubt in the hope that it will be able to recapture the enormous viewing figures achieved by the original show.

Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem, and Madness first dropped on Netflix on March 20, 2020, and soon became the most talked-about TV show on the internet, partially due to the fact that it coincided with the early days of the pandemic, when people were stuck indoors and bored out of their minds.

The documentary's lurid portrait of deluded zookeeper Joe Exotic, his many husbands, and his long-running vendetta against fellow large cat enthusiast Carole Baskin, culminating in a failed attempt on her life, provided the kind of escapist viewing that a great many people were craving at the time.

Filmmakers Eric Goode and Rebecca Chaiklin, the documentarians behind the show, will be returning for this second season, although it seems likely that they will be covering an entirely different story this time around. After all, Joe Exotic is currently in prison, and Netflix already aired a reunion episode entitled The Tiger King & I, in which host Joel McHale caught up with the majority of the other figures in the show.

Not that the public's appetite for more Tiger King-adjacent content has waned over the last year and a half; there are currently at least two scripted adaptations of the saga in development, one of which will star Nicolas Cage as Joe Exotic, the other featuring SNL's Kate McKinnon as Carole Baskin.

While no release date has been confirmed, Tiger King 2 is expected to come to Netflix later this year, as part of the streamer's new slate of true crime programming, which will also include documentaries Bad Vegan, The Tinder Swindler, The Puppet Master: Hunting the Ultimate Conman, and Trust No One: The Hunt for the Crypto King.
