"Carole Will have her own party over this!" Joe Exotic wrote on Twitter, revealing his cancer diagnosis.

The complaint claims "Tiger King 2" uses unauthorized footage of the plaintiffs and alleges they will suffer "irreparable harm" if the show is released.

In court documents filed Monday, Baskin said she only agreed to be featured in a single documentary, and that any sequel cannot feature any footage of her or Big Cat Rescue.

It looks like Netflix is trying to cash in on the “Tiger King” phenomenon one more time.

Zookeeper Erik Cowie from the blockbuster Netflix show “Tiger King” was found dead in a Brooklyn apartment, a police source said Monday. An autopsy will determine how Cowie, 53, died but the source said no foul play is suspected and that it appears he died from natural causes. Cowie had previously denied speculation he was a meth addict. Cowie, who made several appearances on the 2020 ...

Joe Exotic's convictions in the murder-for-hire plot were upheld, and he will be re-sentenced at a later date.

Lions, tigers, lion-tiger hybrids and a jaguar were taken from the Tiger King Park in Thackerville, Oklahoma, over concerns about the animals' care, the Department of Justice (DOJ) said. The animals belonged to Jeffrey Lowe and his wife Lauren, who starred in the Netflix series alongside Joe Exotic and Carole Baskin. The DOJ filed a civil complaint against the Lowes in November, which accused them of "recurring inhumane treatment and improper handling" of animals protected by the Endangered Species Act. The Tiger King Park was inspected three times since December 2020.

After seizing bobcat and tiger cub from a Southeast Side home on Tuesday, Sheriff Javier Salazar said the Netflix documentary “Tiger King” may have something to do with the discovery of these wild animals in Bexar County. Deputies made the seizure after a weekslong investigation into the home in the 3100 block of Shane Road. Salazar said that the trafficking of exotic cats is becoming a “huge problem” and is on the radar of the state legislature. Last month deputies seized a tiger from a Southwest Side property and the owner was cited for having the animal. “I think the TV show Tiger King probably contributed to that,” Salazar said.

Joe Exotic is speaking out from prison. The self-described Tiger King sent a three-page letter to podcaster Josh Belcher, asking for it to be read on his show. Belcher read the note on Thursday's episode of Josh Belcher Uncharted, and only ET has photos of the letter Exotic sent from behind bars. Exotic, whose real name is Joseph Maldonado-Passage, is currently serving a 22-year prison sentence after being convicted of plotting a murder-for-hire against Carole Baskin, among other charges. The focus of Exotic's letter is thus more general remarks about how he believes he is wrongfully incarcerated.

(CNN) -- Big Cat Rescue founder Carole Baskin is bringing together the two necessities that are helping us get through this pandemic -- masks and of course, "Tiger King." Baskin, who was featured in the immensely popular Netflix docuseries "Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness," is officially selling cat-themed face masks. They come in two styles -- one black and one leopard print -- but both feature a whiskered cat smile and Baskin's tagline, "Hey all you cool cats and kittens." Big Cat Rescue, Baskin's animal sanctuary in Tampa, Florida, has been closed to the public due to the pandemic. "There are not words for how disappointing it is to see that the series... had the sole goal of being as salacious and sensational as possible to draw viewers," Baskin wrote in a blog post titled "Refuting Netflix Tiger King."

But we have to assume you’ve finished the show by now, which leads us to this next question: What will you watch next? The following five recommendations seem to be just as crazy as “Tiger King” -- not necessarily the same brand of crazy, but on par when it comes to unbelievability, like, “How can this possibly be real?”(OK, and from the sounds of it, No. 5 miiiiight be the same genre as “Tiger King.”)Anyway, to compile this list, we asked around and brainstormed ourselves. I’ll never get those two hours back.”Those weren’t exactly ringing endorsements, but we thought it was worth a mention.

It’s the moment we’ve all been waiting for: the rumored “Tiger King” reunion episode has officially dropped, and it’s just as wacky and bonkers as you’d hope it would be. Most fans would probably want to hear from the “Tiger King” himself, Joe Exotic, but as we all know, Exotic is currently in jail, so that wasn’t really a possibility. It also seems that everyone in the cast has moved on from Exotic and thinks that he is a terrible human being. McCale also asked the cast members what celebrity they’d want to play them in a movie version of “Tiger King,” and it was pretty funny to hear their answers. Hop on Netflix and soak in every minute of the bonus episode of “Tiger King.”

One of the stars of the series, Jeff Lowe, made a personalized Cameo for Los Angeles Dodgers player Justin Turner, and Lowe announced that one more episode is still to come in the epic “Tiger King” saga. So our friend @christie_dish listened to the podcast, @HoldingKourt and after last weeks episode decided to send us this!!! 🚨BREAKING NEWS FOLKS🚨There will be 1 more episode of #TigerKing on@Netflix pic.twitter.com/YeRSIlDKTJ — Justin Turner (@redturn2) April 4, 2020“Netflix is adding one more episode. Netflix hasn’t actually confirmed a new episode of the show, but given its huge popularity while everyone is stuck inside quarantining, it makes sense for the streaming network to capitalize on the “Tiger King” phenomenon while it’s still hot. Oh, and if you still haven’t hunkered down on your couch to watch “Tiger King” yet, what are you waiting for?

Anyone who has watched Netflix’s new binge-worthy true crime series “Tiger King” is currently asking themselves the biggest questions the series left unanswered, including: Did Carole Baskin kill her husband? While none of us know the answer, that hasn’t stopped fans from speculating (and making memes) about Baskin and her past. And now, as it turns out, one of America’s most notorious felons -- best known as a football star and for being tried in the death of his former wife, Nicole Brown Simpson -- is weighing in on the “Tiger King” mystery. Simpson, also known as “the Juice,” recently posted a video of himself discussing “Tiger King,” and he said he believes that not only did Baskin kill her husband, but she also fed him to her tigers, therefore making “tiger sashimi,” as Simpson references in the video. “We never close a cold case.”So what do you say, you cool cats and kittens?

Chronister posted that the popularity of the seven-part documentary made it a good time to ask for new leads in Lewis' 1997 disappearance. For those who aren't up to speed, here's a primer: Carole Baskin is the owner of Big Cat Rescue in Tampa, Florida. Tiger King, the documentary, is about Joseph Maldonado-Passage, also known as “Joe Exotic," a former Oklahoma zookeeper who loves guns, younger men, and big cats. He was convicted of trying to hire someone to kill Baskin, who had tried to shut him down, accusing the Oklahoma zoo of abusing animals and selling big cat cubs. Since the show was released, speculation about Baskin and Lewis has run rampant — and Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister wants to take advantage of all the attention.

SAN ANTONIO – Hey, all you cool cats and kittens, have you seen the Netflix documentary “Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness?" It’s the story of an eccentric zoo owner who goes by the name Joe Exotic, and it turns out one of the main subjects of the documentary is from San Antonio. If you haven’t seen “Tiger King” then stop reading here because there are spoilers ahead. ’Tiger King’: Where are they now? For more Joe Exotic and Carole Baskin content you can listen to Robert Moor’s Wondery Podcast “Joe Exotic: Tiger King."

Variety reports that there is a limited series being made about the big cat lovers, which is based off a podcast called “Joe Exotic," and it will star “SNL’s" Kate McKinnon as Baskin herself. McKinnon signed up to play Baskin in the fall, long before the masses knew anything of the epic feud between Exotic and Baskin, according to the report. Since we have McKinnon cast, the next obvious question is what actors should play the other colorful characters from “Tiger King,” such as Exotic or Doc Antle. Matthew McConaughey comes to mind, especially if you’ve seen him in “Dallas Buyers Club.”Danny McBride, who is known for playing trashy characters, would also nail Exotic. As for who should play Antle, who is equally as zany as Exotic, he’d have to be played by Will Ferrell.

Editor's note: The following story contains spoilers for the Netflix docuseries "Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness." (CNN) -- If you haven’t watched “Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness,” don’t look to us to try and recap it for you. The owner of Big Cat Rescue has posted a 3,000-word blog titled "Refuting Netflix Tiger King" on her website. He explains their version of how he and his wife came to be involved with "Tiger King" and defends his wife's character. CNN has reached out to Netflix and the “Tiger King” filmmakers for comment.

We all know that Netflix has hundreds of movies and TV shows for us to watch, but there’s a new true crime documentary series that just landed called “Tiger King,” and it’s the perfect show to watch while you’re quarantined inside your home. The story mostly follows the self-proclaimed “Tiger King,” also known as Joe Exotic. Exotic (as well as the other exotic animal owners featured in the series) has a nemesis, and her name is Carole Baskin, who owns the Big Cat Rescue in Tampa, Florida. He hates Baskin more than anything in the world, and won’t stop at anything until he sees her destroyed. Let us know what you think of “Tiger King” in the comments once you’ve finished.

Binge-worthy as it may be, there aren't many bright spots to be found in Netflix's Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness. Well, here's one: John Finlay, who was once in a polygamist marriage with Joe Exotic and the late Travis Maldonado, got his teeth fixed. He shared photos on a Facebook page, "The Truth About John Finlay," that he runs with his current partner. "Yes I have my teeth fixed," Finlay wrote, explaining that this was not the first time he had dental work done.
