Tiger King new episode released by Netflix after show becomes Stranger Things-sized hit

A new episode of Tiger King has been officially released by Netflix.

One week after series star Jeff Lowe revealed a bonus episode was on its way, the streaming service has dropped an aftershow presented by Community star Joel McHale.

The outing – titled The Tiger King and I – features never-before-seen interviews with many people from the series, including John Reinke, Joshua Dial, Saff, Erik Cowie and John Finlay.

Lowe and his wife Lauren also feature in the episode, discussing their experiences since the docuseries became a cultural phenomenon and ratings smash following its release last month.

McHale said of the aftershow: “It’s eye-opening and hopefully funny.”

Tiger King follows Exotic’s tiger trader, who becomes embroiled in a rivalry with animal rights activist Carole Baskin. Their feud escalated so much that Exotic ended up hiring someone to murder her.

When the show came out, viewers branded it “absolutely bonkers” and the “craziest show ever”.
