We\u2019re not sure yet, but there could be a follow-up on this story because there\u2019s a lot that\u2019s still unfolding in it, and it\u2019ll be just as dramatic and just as colourful as what has unfolded these past few years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to\u00a0<a href=\"\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/live-feed\/more-tiger-king-coming-netflix-1294224&quot;\">The Hollywood Reporter<\/a>, wildlife veterinarian Dr James Liu \u2013 who indicated he was a member of\u00a0Tiger King\u2019s production team \u2013 told the publication that a sequel was in the works under the series name.<\/p>\n<p>Liu hinted there was more to be told around the 2003 tiger attack that ended magicians Siegfried and Roy\u2019s Las Vegas show.<\/p>\n<p>Before Netflix announced the return of the series, Joe Exotic\u2019s husband <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/news\/on-demand\/2020-08-26\/tiger-king-season-2-joe-exotic-dillon-passage\/&quot;\">Dillon Passage confirmed they were already filming for Tiger King 2<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to Good Morning Britain in August 2020, Dillon revealed: \u201cI\u2019ve done a little bit of filming for that [season two].<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI do not know the release date but it\u2019s going to be very interesting because it will tell a little bit of Joe\u2019s arrest and afterwards.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dillon added: \u201cI know there\u2019s going to be some phone call recordings of Joe that is going to be in it.
