‘Tiger King 2’ Among New True-Crime Documentaries From Netflix - Deadline

A Tiger King sequel is coming to Netflix this year as part of a new true-crime lineup of documentaries to be released.

Although the streamer announced the project Thursday, it is unknown what the angle for Tiger King 2 will be. The first installment profiled wildcat owners with a focus on Joe Exotic (aka Joseph Allen Maldonado-Passage), the former owner of the G.W. Exotic Animal Park in Oklahoma, who now is serving a lengthy prison sentence for crimes against his animals and his role in a murder-for-hire plot against his nemesis Carole Baskin.

Eric Goode and Rebecca Chaiklin will reteam as directors and executive producers; Chris Smith and Fisher Stevens also will serve as EPs. It is being produced by A Goode Films Production in association with Library Films and Article 19 Films.

Goode and Chaiklin have remained connected with Exotic since he began serving his sentence. The pair previously has discussed how being behind bars has taught Exotic about why keeping wild animals in cages was cruel.

Exotic pleaded with former President Donald Trump to grant him a pardon and early release, but it was for naught. He did, however, score a win last summer when the court agreed to shorten his original 22-year sentence.
