Few things in Netflix’s vast catalog of TV shows and movies have proven as simultaneously bingeable, buzzy, and unequivocally insane as the Tiger King docu-series, about a polygamist zoo owner from Oklahoma who comes off like a character somebody dreamed up in a movie. The series is still among the Top 10 Netflix TV series in the US, according to the daily rankings put out by the streamer, which means people still haven’t been able to get enough of the truth-is-stranger-than-fiction story herein — and, along those lines, Netflix might be about to give fans even more Tiger King-related content to enjoy.
After releasing an extra episode earlier this month, a kind of aftershow special hosted by Joel McHale, Netflix went on to tout some impressive stats related to the series in its first-quarter letter to shareholders, published on April 21. In it, Netflix projected that some 64 million households would have seen Tiger King in the first four weeks following its release in mid-March. Now, meanwhile, comes word that a movie adaptation of the series focused on the Tiger King himself — “Joe Exotic,” aka Joseph Maldonado-Passage — is reportedly in production at the streamer.
