Everything We Know About The New 'Tiger King' Show

A new episode of Tiger King is coming to Netflix this week, according to Jeff Lowe.
Joe Exotic's husband, Dillon Passage, says it's supposed to be "like a reunion."
However, the majority of the original cast has said they would not be appearing in the new episode.

Tiger King fans collectively freaked out last week after G.W. Zoo owner Jeff Lowe shared in a Cameo video that there would be an extra TK episode released sometime this week.

Well, now that everyone's a few days into this week, and theres no new episode, the people wanna know: WHEN IS IT COMING?! (Ya know, just wondering...)

Netflix has been surprisingly quiet about the whole thing, but a few of the docuseries stars have opened up about their impromptu return to the streaming service. Heres what you can expect to see in the new Tiger King episode:

Its ~just~ one more episode of Tiger King.

Hoping for a whole new docuseries about the bizarre world of big cat lovers? Its not happening, at least, not RN. Instead, Jeff said in his Cameo video that theres only going to be one more episode.

Filming just happened.

The Cameo from Jeff was released on Saturday, April 4, but its unclear when it was shot. Still, it must have been pretty recent. Jeff said in the video that he and his wife Lauren were "filming here tomorrow," so theres a pretty quick turnaround on this.

The whole OG cast wont be on the new episode.

Dillon Passage , husband of Joe Exotic (a.k.a. the Tiger King) told Andy Cohen on Radio Andy Monday, April 6, that he wont be on the show. A representative for Carole Baskin also told EW that she wouldnt appear on the show. ("We have not been approached about a new episode and would not participate if asked," the representative said in a statement.) And given how ticked off Doc Antle seems to be about his portrayal , its unlikely hell be in it, either.

So...fans will get an update on Jeff and Lauren Lowe, and maybe Joe from prison? (Idk, but that seems pretty unlikely.)
