“Tiger King” was definitely the first major cultural phenomenon of the COVID pandemic. Launching in March 2020, Netflix seemingly had the one series that everyone was bingewatching from the comfort of their homes in the early days of the lockdown. Now, with COVID still a daily part of our lives, the streaming service is hoping to capture that cultural zeitgeist again with “Tiger King 2.”

Sure, the title might not be all that catchy, but “Tiger King 2” is the perfect name to describe the new limited series coming to Netflix next month. The series looks to pick up right where the first left off, as Joe Exotic is still in jail and the rest of the ridiculous cast of characters are living it up with the added benefit of their own 15 minutes of fame. And as you might suspect, the man at the center of this, Mr. Tiger King himself, isn’t so happy to be the one person in jail while his buddies and enemies are worldwide celebrities.
“Tiger King” filmmakers Rebecca Chaiklin and Eric Goode return for the new five-episode limited series. “Tiger King 2” hits Netflix on November 17. You can watch the trailer below.
Here’s the synopsis:
With Joe Exotic behind bars and Carole Baskin closing in on ownership of his disreputable zoo, the Emmy-nominated saga continues its twisted course with Tiger King 2 as newfound revelations emerge on the motivations, backstories, and secrets of America’s most notorious big cat owners. Old enemies and frenemies, including Jeff Lowe, Tim Stark, Allen Glover, and James Garretson return for another season of murder, mayhem, and madness. Thought you knew the whole story? Just you wait.
