'Tiger King': One-hour Fox special on Joe Exotic will see TMZ investigating what really went down
'Tiger King' aka Joe Exotic became a sensation after Netflix released its documentary 'Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness' and now, there is good news for the fans that just couldn't get enough. The TMZ-produced special, 'TMZ Investigates: Tiger King – What Really Went Down?' has promised new interviews and "never-before-seen footage".
The one-hour special will air on Monday, April 13, 2020, at 9 pm EST. The official statement reads, that the special will explore the “outstanding questions about whether or not Joe Exotic is guilty, an inside look into Carole Baskin’s husband’s disappearance and the current status of the new investigation," and will be hosted by Harvey Levin.
The original Netflix docuseries was a huge hit after it reached 34.3 million unique viewers within the first 10 days of its release with Variety reporting it to be the streaming network's biggest-ever original programs. The series, which released on March 20, had seven episodes and focused on Joe Exotic, a private zoo owner. It also further spoke of Exotic's rivalry with Carole Baskin, Big Cat Rescue owner, and his hand in her murder-for-hire plot.
Fox is not the only network cashing in on the Mayhem. Investigation Discovery has also 'greenlit' a show that they called a “definitive sequel” to 'Tiger King'. They revealed that the sequel would focus on “the investigation you didn’t get to see, revealing the secrets only Joe knows, the exclusive footage that has never been shown and the search to answer the one question every person in America is asking themselves right now: although she’s denied it, is Carole Baskin responsible for the disappearance of her husband, Don Lewis?”
The upcoming Fox special produced by TMZ will try to answer the questions that were unanswered by the popular Netflix docuseries such as if Exotic was "really guilty" of the conviction in the murder-for-hire plot of Carole Baskin. It will also explore the disappearance of animal activist Carole Baskin's former husband and the investigation that has been re-opened based on the case.
