This news comes as NBC Universal’s streaming service Peacock begins production of their own Joe Exotic limited series starring actors Kate McKinnon and John Cameron Mitchell as Carole Baskin and Joe Exotic respectively.
Hollywood actor Nicolas Cage has revealed that he won’t be playing the role of convicted felon Joe Exotic as Amazon has reportedly shelved the “Tiger King” drama series.
Peacock’s show is based on the podcast Joe Exotic: Tiger King, released between March and April 2020 by Wondery, a network now owned by Amazon.
Netflix earlier developed an immensely popular documentary series Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem, and Madness that dealt with Joe Exotic, a former media personality and businessman who attempted to kill Carole Baskin, an animal-rights activist.
