Tiger King star Jeff Lowe, who viewers will remember as the swinger who took over Joe Exotic’s private zoo, leaked the news about a new episode in a video on the Cameo app. Los Angeles Dodgers player Justin Turner posted the video to Twitter on April 4, 2020. “Netflix is adding one more episode,” Lowe said. “It will be on next week. They’re filming here tomorrow.”
Netflix didn’t respond to multiple outlets’ requests for comment, including Variety and Vanity Fair, so it’s unclear what exactly will be in the new episode. It could be a follow-up episode that depicts more recent events, or it could be a reunion episode.
However, there are some obstacles to either possibility. First of all, the coronavirus pandemic forced Netflix to shut down production on all scripted film and TV shows, according to Deadline. Tiger King isn’t a scripted series, so it may not have been included in that shutdown. Still, the crew may not be able to safely pull off filming an entire new episode right now.
Then, there’s the timing factor. Lowe said the episode is coming “next week,” which would mean it’d likely drop by April 10, 2020, but the original Tiger King was filmed over the course of five years, per Bustle, so putting together an episode in just over a week would seemingly be kind of difficult.
However, a new Tiger King episode is definitely still a possibility based on previous comments from the docu-series’ showrunners.
