"Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness" recounts the incredible true story of Joe Exotic or Joe Maldonado-Passage. The 57-year-old self-proclaimed "Tiger King" built an empire with a zoo and a shady breeding program for wild cats. Accused of plotting to murder his rival Carole Baskin, Joe Exotic was sentenced to 22 years in prison in January 2020.
