Netflix Will Stream a Special Tiger King Episode Featuring New Interviews

And now, as if in answer to our prayers, Netflix is releasing an additional episode of Tiger King.

On April 12, Joel McHale will host The Tiger King & I, an "aftershow" which will catch up with a number of the documentary's participants to find out how their lives have changed since the filming of the show, and what they make of the ways they have been portrayed.

The Tiger King & I will feature new interviews with key figures from the increasingly strange days at G.W. Zoo , including Joe Exotic's former husband John Finlay , reality TV producer Rick Kirkham , who was accused of burning down the studio, Joe's campaign manager Joshua Dial, who witnessed the accidental death of Travis Maldonado on camera, and Joe's late-stage business partner Jeff Lowe , who along with his wife Lauren took over control of the zoo and helped get Joe arrested.

Fans will also be able to catch up with the people who worked with Joe Exotic at the zoo for years: Erik Cowie, John Reinke, Saff Saffery , who lost his arm in an accident on the premises (and was also repeatedly misgendered in the show).

Two notable exceptions who won't be making appearances are the duo at the warped center of the phenomenon: Carole Baskin , who is not a fan of the show, to put it lightly, and the Tiger King himself, Joe Exotic, who is currently doing time in prison after being found guilty of paying to have Baskin killed.
