Netflix confirms Tiger King WILL be back for season 2 – and sooner than you think

NETFLIX has finally confirmed that Tiger King will be back on our screens for a second season – and sooner than you think.

It’s been 18 months since Tiger King took the world by storm, with Joe Exotic shooting to superstardom.

And now the streaming service has announced that Tiger King 2 is “coming soon,” at the top of the show’s synopsis page.

While Netflix hasn’t given a specific release date for the new season, a “coming soon” message is usually advertised two to three months before new programmes come out.

Tiger King followed Joe Exotic and his overseeing of the establishment of a controversial private zoo in Oklahoma.

Much of the series hinged on Exotic’s long-running feud with Carole Baskin, CEO of Big Cat Rescue in Tampa, Florida.

Exotic is facing 22 years in a cell after he was found guilty of a murder-for-hire plot against Carole Baskin and for violating several wildlife laws.

However, he proved to be a big hit with viewers at home who couldn’t get enough of his fiery personality.

The zoo owner – who shared his cancer diagnosis with his Twitter following – is set to be re-sentenced soon, and could be released from jail as early as mid-2036.

For now, fans will have to sit tight until Netflix gives an official release date for the hit show.
