Joe Exotic Will Be In 'Tiger King 2', Claims His Husband Dillon Passage

If there was one place we found solace amongst the chaos and uncertainty of lockdown, it was in the engrossing, downright whacky Netflix documentary Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness.

So it would be an understatement to say we're excited at the news that our favourite gun-yielding, polyamorous, imprisoned tiger breeder is set to feature in the second season of the show.

Joe's husband Dillon Passage shared the news with Ranvir Singh and Adil Ray on Good Morning Britain today, August 26^th, where he also confirmed that he had also recorded footage.

"I've done a little bit of filming for that [season 2]," he revealed.

"I do not know the release date but it's going to be very interesting because it will tell a little bit of Joe's arrest and afterwards.

"I know there's going to be some phone call recordings of Joe that is going to be in it. There is no filming since he's incarcerated."

For those who have been living in a cave for the last six months, Joe is currently serving 22 years behind bars for animal abuse charges and conspiring to kill arch enemy Carol Baskin.

The rivalry between Joe Exotic and Baskin, who runs a big cat rescue sanctuary, is so extravagant that it became the focal point of the whole Netflix series, with Baskin herself calling it "salacious and sensational."

Given that the show has exponentially fuelled the rumours that she killed her ex-husband and fed him to rescue tigers, we feel this is fair.

There's no mention of her in the second series though, so we wouldn't get our hopes up too much.

A strong believer in polygamy, Joe has had five husbands in his lifetime, two who he was married to at the same time. Tragically one of the Tiger King's husbands Travis Maldonado died in 2017 when he is said to have accidentally shot himself at the zoo's gift shop.

Joe met Dillon Passage shortly after Travis died on a dating app, and they were married two months later when Dillon turned 22.

While Netflix hasn't officially confirmed that there will be a season two of the smash hit show, The Hollywood Reporter claims that another episode is on its way and we're keeping everything crossed!
