How Much “Tiger King” is Too Much “Tiger King?”

By Mary Anne ButlerJuly 16, 20201 Min Read

Ah, good ol Joe Exotic, bleached-mullet wearin’ “Tiger King” personality. Are you sick of seeing him yet? Because if you’re not, Animal Planet has a new docuseries just for you.

“Surviving Joe Exotic” is sort of a rival series to Netflix’s “Tiger King,” and we’re super curious to see what’s different.

From the first trailer released by Animal Planet, the most noticeable difference is the almost complete lack of Carole Baskin from the narrative. Also, “Surviving Joe Exotic” is definitely focusing more on the…you know, actual tigers and other animals that populated the Oklahoma zoo complex.

You can check out the first trailer for “Surviving Joe Exotic” below:

The docuseries will hit Animal Planet starting on July 25th.
