Investigation Discovery has ordered a new special about Joseph “Joe Exotic” Maldonado-Passage, the eccentric zoo owner at the center of Netflix’s hit docuseries “Tiger King,” the network announced Monday.
Titled “Investigating the Strange World of Joe Exotic,” the special will follow-up on the feud between Maldonado-Passage, who is currently serving a multi-decade prison sentence, and Carole Baskin, the big cat enthusiast who was the victim of an attempted hit by the exotic animal zoo owner.
“Viewers are understandably riveted by Netflix’s ‘Tiger King,’ but the millions of true crime fans around the world were left wanting more,” said Henry Schleiff, Group President ID, Travel Channel, American Heroes Channel and Destination America. “ID is the perfect place to find the inevitable sequel to this drama – featuring a missing husband, a hitman, and the illegal business of exotic animals. It’s time to let the cat out of the bag and address the lingering questions that viewers demand be answered.”
