Hey All You Cool Cats, Netflix Just Confirmed the New Episode of 'Tiger King' Is Dropping This Weekend

From Esquire

For all the millions who spent a small sliver of quarantine watching the absurd tale of Joe Exotic, here's some good news: Netflix has officially confirmed that a new episode of Tiger King will drop on Sunday, April 12.

Netflix announced the news in a tweet on Thursday afternoon, confirming rumors that a follow-up episode to their smash hit docuseries was in the works. This after-show will be hosted by Joel McHale, and include interviews with John Reinke, Joshua Dial, John Finlay, Saff, Erik Cowie, Rick Kirkman, and Jeff and Lauren Lowe.

Since its March 20 release, Tiger King has become the number one source of quarantine entertainment, with a reported 34 million viewers in its first 10 days. In that time, many of the major players have become over night celebrities. In an interview with Esquire Saff Saffery said that he'd been starting to get recognized in public before going into quarantine.

“That was surreal, I’ll be honest with you,” Saffery said last week. “I’ve always laid pretty low. I’m a low-key person. I’ve always been that way. So, it’s new to me.”

Meanwhile, Carole Baskin has repeatedly denied accusations of being involved with the disappearance of her late husband Don Lewis. And the popularity of the docuseries has pressed a Florida sheriff to seek tips in the decades old cold-case. Last week, during a press conference, Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister said the department had received six tips a day since the release of the documentary. He also said that the department would be reviewing reviewing “a lot of the evidence," and a detective supervisor has been assigned to handle all the leads coming in, although none so far have proved to be credible.
