Netflix is gearing up to release another chapter of Tiger King.

While it isn’t clear when and where exactly Tiger King 2 will pick up from, the Netflix teaser includes cameos from Carole Baskin, Jeff Lowe, and Joe Exotic, who is currently incarcerated for 17 years due to a murder-for-hire plot against Baskin. Tiger King 2 will be again directed by Eric Goode and Rebecca Chaiklin, who will also executive produce, as well as Chris Smith and Fisher Stevens. 

After the first season of the docuseries aired last year, the show returned with an additional episode. Hosted by Joel McHale, the bonus episode featured interviews with John Reinke, Joshua Dial, John Finlay, Saff, Erik Cowie, Rick Kirkman, and Jeff and Lauren Lowe. However, fans were a bit disappointed after the episode debuted.

In addition to Tiger King 2, Netflix is readying four other true crime series and documentaries, including The Puppet Master: Hunting the Ultimate Conman, The Tinder Swindler, Trust No One: The Hunt for the Crypto King, and Bad Vegan.

“Whether you want to dive into the psyche of a con artist, empathize with the victims of a scam, or piece together the puzzle of an investigation, these wild stories are often full of surprising twists and unusual perspectives,” Netflix Documentary VPs Adam Del Deo and Lisa Nishimura said in a press release, per Variety.

The teaser also promises that the “truth is unbelievable.”
