The series about the former zoo owner, who is now in prison for attempting to murder animal rights activist Carole Baskin , was a great success, especially in America. But also in Germany the documentary stayed in the top 10 of the streaming service for several days .

"Tiger King": Netflix is planning a second season
Netflix quickly recognized the potential of "Tiger King" and is therefore already planning an additional episode that will revolve around Siegfried and Roy . Joe Exotic as the protagonist is still far from off the table: As The Sun claims to have found out, it has the streaming service has already secured the rights for a second season. Exotic himself has confirmed from prison that he wants to be back on board, as have his husband Dillon Passage and Jeff Lowe , who has been running Joe's Zoo in recent years.
But which story does Netflix want to take up in Season 2? The first season has already covered most of the arguments between Exotic and Carole Baskin. According to The Sun report, however, the former zoo owner hopes to use a sequel to make it clear to the world that he is wrongly in jail. In addition, after a court order in June 2020, Carole Baskin was appointed the new owner of Joe Exotics Zoo - which is also an exciting topic for a second season.

"Tiger King" without Carole Baskin? One thing could be a problem for Netflix
What would a second season of "Tiger King" be without Carole Baskin ? The animal rights activist was already in the spotlight in the 1st season together with Joe Exotic - a 2nd season without her would simply be unthinkable. Netflix therefore took up talks to continue with Baskin, which turned out to be difficult after they had previously accused the streaming service of having produced an "obscene and sensational" series.
According to an insider, she was not averse to participating in a second season. However, Baskin is demanding a fee of around 1 million euros , which should benefit their own zoo. An amount that Netflix has so far been too high. So it remains to be seen whether Baskin can be persuaded to perform for less money. (soa) * tz.de is part of the Ippen-Zentral-Netzwerk.
