Looks like “Tiger King” will find a home on television, as it's been announced that Investigation Discovery is planning an 'unofficial limited series' similar to Netflix’s hit docuseries.
“Investigating the Strange World of Joe Exotic” will look into the disappearance of Carole Baskin’s ex-husband, Don Lewis. “Love her or hate her, Carole is now in the center ring of the big cat circus,” the network says in a statement. “Is she a selfless crusader and protector of animals, who found unimaginable strength despite the mysterious disappearance of her husband? Or are we witnessing Carole Baskin’s master plan finally take effect? Despite her claims of innocence, did she orchestrate the disappearance of Don Lewis to seize control of his fortune, consolidate power and lay waste to her foes? No one seems to be talking – except for one man – and that man is the center of ID’s upcoming investigative series.”
While Joe Exotic is under contract to participatein the show, it’s unknown just how much he can since he’s currently serving 22 years for allegedly trying to hire someone to kill Carole.
