The former Oklahoma zoo owner (and one-time presidential candidate) is currently serving 22 years in federal prison on charges of animal abuse and attempting to hire a hitman to murder his nemesis, Carole Baskin, an animal rights activist and CEO of Big Cat Rescue. For years, Exotic alleged in numerous video blogs that Baskin murdered her first husband, Don Lewis.
According to Nielsen, Tiger King was Netflix's biggest hit since Stranger Things. The ratings service said that the docu-series was watched by 34.3 million unique viewers in the first 10 days of its release, more than Stranger Things season 2 and close to season 3. Netflix has not released its own internal streaming numbers for Tiger King.
The seven-episode documentary followed Joe Exotic (real name Joseph Maldonado-Passage) and his outrageous exploits at the Oklahoma zoo where he kept multiple tigers, lions and other exotic animals. Tiger King also featured interviews with zoo employees, Exotic's campaign manager, his business partner-turned-owner Jeff Lowe and Baskin. Netflix also released a Tiger King reunion special on April 12.
