Fans of Tiger King on Netflix may have something else to look forward to as a new episode of the series could be airing on the streaming platform soon. The series follows the eccentric Joe Exotic who used to run the GW Zoo big cat park in Oklahoma, US, before he was jailed on murder-for-hire charges in January 2020.
Exotic’s old business partner Jeff Lowe has now suggested one more episode of Tiger King is in the making, with filming due to start this week. The statement had been sent to American baseball player Justin Turner, who had been talking about the series on his wife’s podcast, Holding Kourt.
In the video Lowe said: “Thank you for watching the show, take care guys, we love you, Netflix is adding one more episode, we will be filming here tomorrow. Take care, stay safe and put your mask on.”
The official date for the new episode has not yet been revealed but fans should keep an eye out over the next few days as filming has now started.
Lowe took the big cat park over in his name in order to help Exotic while he was facing a lawsuit against his rival, Carole Baskin.

In an interview with Netflix, Exotic said he was “done” with the Carole Baskin saga and wanted to focus on being a free man again.
The documentary series has taken the world by storm as it follows the escalating rivalry between Exotic and animal welfare activist, Baskin.
Baskin and her husband had been trying to shut Joe’s animal park down for years and had filed a number of lawsuits against him.
He ended up signing the park over to Lowe but things did not go exactly to plan, as the docu-series shows.
The series ends with Joe being caught by an agent who was acting undercover as a hitman, who had been hired to kill Baskin.
Fans do not know exactly what the new episode will focus on, as the final episode of the series, called Dethroned, sees Joe facing the courts.
The synopsis for the final episode said: “Joe faces the music in the courtroom but insists the story is far from over. Jeff’s business prospects crumble. Former GW Zoo workers try to move on.”
This suggests the new episode may tackle what happened to the former workers after they left and where they have ended up. It could also focus on Exotic’s attempt to be a free man and walk out of jail.
In an interview with Netflix Exotic said that chapter of his life involving Carole Baskin was offficially over and he had a new focus now.
Exotic is currently serving his 22-year sentence in prison and has recently been moved to a medical facility due to a coronavirus outbreak at his previous jail.
He said: “I’m done with the Carole Baskin saga. It’s now time to turn the tables and Joe get out of jail a free man and exonerated from all these charges.”
Exotic said he had also realised the truth about his dream to become an established public figure.
He said: “You know it would be nice if I could actually see me being famous out there, but I’ve seen these same four walls for a year and a half now.”
He admitted he was “ashamed” of the animal abuse he had committed when he ran the zoo but claimed his eccentric personality would never change.
