The TV show will be based on a Texas Monthly article, and not the Netflix docuseries — but I’m hoping they closely follow each other.

I need more of the train wreck that is Joe Exotic!

The show is still in pre-production, but we know that Nicholas Cage is set to play the lead.

I probably don’t need to tell you anything about the Tiger King at this point.

We all know Joe exotic ran a zoo-type establishment, called Greater Wynnewood Exotic Animal Park, in Oklahoma, and it was home to a bunch of big cats — among other exotic animals.

You also know that Joe Exotic is a tiger cult-leading, magician and country music singing wanna be, homosexual polygamist, convicted of animal cruelty and murder for hire, currently for which he is serving 22 years in prison.
