Netflix has made good on the rumored additional episode of its hit docuseries Tiger King.
The after show, titled Tiger King and I, is set to premiere on April 12. Hosted by Joel McHale, the bonus episode will feature new interviews with John Reinke, Joshua Dial, John Finlay, Saff, Erik Cowie, Rick Kirkman, and Jeff and Lauren Lowe. Carole Baskin and Dillon Passage (Maldonado-Passage’s husband) won’t take part, after Netflix reportedly didnt't contact them to participate in the episode. Netflix dropped a little teaser featuring McHale himself.
Jeff Lowe teased the episode last weekend. “Netflix is adding one more episode. It will be on next week. They’re filming here tomorrow,” Lowe said in a video posted to Twitter, which Los Angeles Dodgers player Justin Turner shared on April 4. Turner and his wife, Kourtney, had talked about the show on an episode of her podcast Holding Kourt.
Donald Trump recently said that he will “take a look” into pardoning the show's main subject, Joe Exotic, who is currently incarcerated for murder-for-hire charges and wildlife violations. “I know nothing about it. He has 22 years for what? What did he do?,” Trump said, when asked for his position on Exotic. New York Post reporter Steven Nelson then responded, explaining the Tiger King star's situation, which includes a 22-year prison sentence.
