TAMPA, Fla. — The true crime documentary series we never knew we needed at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic is getting a second season.
"Tiger King 2" is coming out in 2021, Netflix announced in a news release Thursday.
According to Netflix, 64 million households watched the first season of "Tiger King" in its first four weeks on the streaming service.
"Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness" was released in March 2020 and followed zoo owner Joseph Maldonado-Passage — aka "Joe Exotic" — as he allegedly hired people to kill his rival, Carole Baskin, who owns a nonprofit animal sanctuary near Tampa, Florida.

Netflix released footage from the upcoming season in a "title announcement" trailer, which featured Baskin walking in slow-motion down a hallway, a billboard asking "Who murdered Don Lewis?," someone boarding an airplane with Exotic's face on it, a phone interview from prison with Exotic and a large portrait of Exotic above a bust of Baskin.
