The latest Tiger King News is quite exciting as it’s being turned into an eight-episode scripted series with Nicolas Cage set to play Joe Exotic! The series will be based on the Texas Monthly article, “Joe Exotic: A Dark Journey Into the World of a Man Gone Wild,” by Leif Reigstad and it will tell the story of Joe Schreibvogel, a.k.a. Joe Exotic, an eccentric exotic zookeeper in Oklahoma who tries to keep his park, while losing his own sanity. It’s also going to explore how Joe Exotic became the character he is today and how he got wrapped up in the persona.

The series will be Cage’s first regular television role as he’s known for his roles in films including Leaving Las Vegas, Moonstruck, Raising Arizona, Face/Off, the National Treasure films, and the Ghost Rider films.

This will be the second scripted series about Tiger King as the first was announced late last year and it’s based on the Wondery podcast “Joe Exotic.” Kate McKinnon will executive produce and star as Carole Baskin.

The docuseries takes place across a number of zoos in Florida, South Carolina, and Oklahoma. It follows a feud between wild animal obsessives, breeders, and animal rights activists. The cast of characters is all ridiculous in their own right but together, they form an eccentric supergroup with an absurd dynamic.

To begin with, the show appears to be about Joe Exotic and his 200 pet tigers. Carole Baskin seeks to close Exotic’s zoo along with others that are similar. It’s a simple story with a predictable disequilibrium. At least, that’s what you would be forgiven for thinking based on the first episode.

After this, Tiger King unfolds into something far more extreme and far more absurd. We see cults, drug barons, and the mysterious disappearance of a very wealthy man. The twists get increasingly bombastic as the show continues and during a time where binge-watching is practically advisable, the show promises to enthrall you from start to finish.

As a docuseries, Tiger King does not take itself at all seriously. It is more concerned with entertaining its audience than relaying the truth. The cast of characters becomes increasingly eccentric and at the heart of it, the mulleted Joe Exotic is the wild card that keeps us hooked.

One of the great things about the series is that it is the type of series that generates more content. It results in an influx of Joe Exotic memes flooding social media and in turn, more people become intrigued by the show and more content is generated. It is a bombastic cycle of consumption and conversation that results in the show being the most talked-about TV event of the year.

For that reason, the show’s trashy feel and ridiculous nature is not to be overlooked. It is to be embraced. It’s the absurd and insane show that we need right now in these insane and absurd times.

4/5
