Tiger King 2 trailer released by Netflix

The first season of the docuseries about a feud between private zoo owners became a huge success on Netflix. This was particularly due to the fact that it launched during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic. Let’s face it, we were all locked-down at home, bored stiff, and along came Tiger King to take our mind off it. Fans have been waiting impatiently for the second season to drop and it won’t take long now. As recently reported, Tiger King 2 is set to debut on the streaming channel on November 17, 2021.

As Netflix released the trailer on Wednesday, it is clear that the second season returns to the “murder, mayhem and madness” that characterized the first season. Viewers get to see the wealth behind private zoos in Florida and Oklahoma, as well as guns and, naturally, tigers.

What to expect from the second season?

According to Netflix, Tiger King 2 will reportedly examine how “sudden fame and unwanted attention from the authorities turns up the heat and unearths some stunning revelations.” It will cover the amazing wealth accumulated by the private zoos, particularly in the wake of the series’ revelations.

The trailer included below, includes a voiceover from an interview with Maldonado-Passage from prison. It also hints at a further investigation into the 1997 disappearance of Carole Baskin’s late husband, Don Lewis.

Fans respond to the Tiger King 2 trailer

After Netflix released the Tiger King 2 trailer, viewers were quick to respond, with varying degrees of excitement. One fan wrote, “When the world needed him most, Joe Exotic returns to make everyone feel better about themselves. God bless you Joe!” In a similar vein, another commented, writing congratulations to everyone who made it through COVID adding, “here’s your prize.”

Yet another quipped that this is a “train wreck” that they plan on watching. Another noted that everyone involved was “criminally insane” and need to be locked up. However, they did add that they still had the popcorn ready. One probably foreign viewer wrote that they are “still not convinced America is a real place.”

About Tiger King

The first part of the Tiger King docuseries was filmed over the course of five years. It covers the story of Joe Maldonado-Passage aka the Tiger King himself, from before and after his arrest. He was sentenced to 22 years in prison for hatching a murder-for-hire plot against his big cat rival, Carole Baskin. “Joe Exotic” was also accused of 17 counts of animal abuse.

Having premiered in March 2020, the show quickly became the most-watched in the US. Meanwhile, the fame of the docuseries soon spread around the world, making it an international hit.

Tiger King 2 will feature returning figures such as Tim Stark, Jeff Lowe, Allen Glover and James Garretson. The sequel will premiere on Netflix on November 17.
