Carol Cat, founder of Big Cat Rescue, argues that Royal Good Productions, which produced Tiger King for Netflix, convinced her and her husband, Howard Baskin, that their footage would only be used in a documentary.

According to court documents, the new season is expected to begin in the United States on November 17.
Baskin said he felt that the interviews in his case were the first of its kind.

The case against Ms. Baskin and Joe Exactic – real name Joseph Maldonado-Passage – is a recent twist in the saga of the documentary series Tiger King’s murder, mime and madness.
On the air in March 2020 – just as the COVID-19 epidemic forced people to stay home – the first series was very popular.
Much of the series focuses on the dispute between Baskin and Maldonado-Passage in the treatment of tigers, lions, and other large cats at the former Oklahoma Zoo.
Maldonado-Passage is in jail after being accused of plotting to assassinate Ms. Baskin, according to the first series.
The appellate court reduced the sentence to 22 years.
He is being held at the Federal Prison in Fort Worth, Texas.
Maldonado-Passage announced last week that he had severe prostate cancer and asked people to pray for him.
