Tiger King has been such a runaway hit for Netflix that it’s inspired talks about a sequel, as well as a dramatized series that has prompted celebrities to publicly pledge their requests on social media. On Sunday, the streamer even unveiled a special eighth episode of the series, titled The Tiger King and I. While filmed in the era of social distancing, it features former Community star Joel McHale interviewing several subjects featured in the series’ first seven episodes.
The subject Tiger King, Joe Exotic, better known as Joseph Allen Maldonado-Passage, is currently serving a 22-year sentence for 17 counts of animal abuse and two for murder-for-hire. While he’s been enjoying his newfound fame behind bars, he has openly petitioned President Donald Trump to pardon him for his crimes. The request came at the same time as his filing of a $94 million lawsuit against the US Fish and Wildlife Service, his former business partner Jeff Lowe and James Garretson, a confidential informant for the prosecution.
“The Trump Administration must be made aware of the overreach, perjury, abuse of power and the failure to uphold the Oath of their position which is truth and justice for all,” Exotic posted on Facebook on March 19. “The agencies and its counterparts have abused the system for a private agenda.”
