A follow-up to Tiger King, the documentary series that captivated millions around the world in the early days of the coronavirus pandemic, will be released this year, Netflix announced.

The original series followed "Joe Exotic," a gay, mullet-wearing private zookeeper who ruled over a menagerie of big cats, wacky employees and misfit lovers but ended up in prison for attempted murder.

It was watched by 64 million households in its first four weeks alone after its March 2020 premiere.

Tiger King 2 promises "more madness and mayhem," with a trailer featuring Exotic apparently phoning in from prison, where he is serving his 22-year sentence.
