“We hope Kate McKinnon has a passion for animals and that her series will focus on the horrible lives captive big cats lead when exploited by breeders like Joe Exotic,” Baskin’s Big Cat Rescue rep also states, continuing the Tiger King feud.
Kate McKinnon is set to produce and star in a limited series based on the feud between Tiger King stars Carole Baskin and Joe Exotic, and Baskin is apparently hoping the project will stick with CGI.
Though the Netflix series Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness popularized the two tremendously over the past several days, McKinnon’s project has been in development since last year, inspired by Wondery’s Joe Exotic: Tiger King podcast.
Because it’s not clear where the Tiger King Limited Series will end up, there’s no release date yet attached to the project.
