A follow-up to “Tiger King,” the documentary series that captivated millions around the world in the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic, will be released this year, Netflix said Thursday. The original series followed “Joe Exotic,” a gay, mullet-wearing private zookeeper who ruled over a menagerie of big cats, wacky employees and misfit lovers, but ended up in prison for attempted murder. “Tiger King 2” promises “more madness and mayhem,” with a trailer featuring Exotic apparently phoning in from prison, where he is serving his 22-year sentence. The original “Tiger King” focused on the rivalry between Exotic and Baskin, who had for years accused the flamboyant businessman of abusing the animals in his park. Directors Eric Goode and Rebecca Chaiklin return for “Tiger King 2,” which Netflix is billing as “the continuation of a cultural phenomenon.”
