Netflix’s wildly popular docuseries Tiger King–which debuted to captive audiences at the start of the coronavirus crisis–is getting a brand-new bonus episode on Sunday, April 12.
Unfortunately, neither the show’s imprisoned star Joe Exotic nor his arch-enemy Carole Baskin will appear on the after-show episode hosted by Community’s Joel McHale and featuring new interviews with characters from the exotic animal-filled true crime saga, whose high-profile fans include Kim Kardashian, Britney Spears and Cardi B.
Former G.W. Zoo Manager John Reinke, Joe Exotic’s ex-campaign manager Joshua Dial, Exotic’s ex-husband John Finlay, former G.W. Zoo Head Zookeeper Erik Cowie, producer Rick Kirkman, and Jeff and Lauren Lowe will open up about how their lives following the release of the campy Netflix hit.

Check out Netflix’s video teaser confirming the news showing McHale rocking what appears to be his best attempt at dressing like Exotic himself. (Too bad Exotic has already endorsed David Spade to play him in the upcoming dramatic reenactment.)
The Tiger King and I premieres April 12 exclusively on Netflix.
