The limited series drama adaptation of Joe Exotic and Carole Baskin’s feud has received a straight-to-series order at NBC Universal Television.
Kate McKinnon – previously Bombshell and Ghostbusters – will lead the cast as Carole Baskin, the big cat rights activist who found fame in Netflix’s true-crime documentary Tiger King.
The McKinnon-led series is only one of the multiple projects in the works that are based on the surreal events surrounding Baskin and Maldonado-Passage.
Baskin previously opened up to Entertainment Weekly about the casting choice, stating, “Kate McKinnon is a wonderful actress.”
