Acclaimed documentarian Louis Theroux is set to front a new BBC documentary about Joe Exotic, the star of Netflix’s Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness.
The new documentary, produced with the working title Louis Theroux: The Cult of Joe Exotic, is a feature-length exploration of Exotic, and will function as a sequel to Theroux’s original documentary.
The Cult of Joe Exotic will feature unseen footage gathered back in 2011, as well as new interviews with Exotic’s legal team and closest confidantes.
Former zoo owner Exotic, real name Joseph Maldonado-Passage, had featured in Theroux’s 2011 documentary America’s Most Dangerous Pets, and is currently serving time in a Federal prison.
