Whether you want it or not, Tiger King 2 is coming this November
The pop culture event of 2020 is back, as we always knew it would be
[UPDATED 9/25]: Well, we now know exactly when Tiger King 2 will be available for streaming. At today’s Tudum event, Netflix revealed that the follow-up the 2020 series will return on November 17. “We’ve only scratched the surface,” the streamer teased in the date announcement clip.
Where were you in the spring of 2020? You were at home, most likely, but what were you doing at the time? Other than washing your groceries with bleach and paying exorbitant prices for cheap cloth masks off the internet? If we had to guess, we’d say you were probably watching Netflix’s Tiger King, the closest thing television has had to a universal cultural moment since… the moon landing? The end of M*A*S*H? Actually, the Game Of Thrones finale might be a better point of comparison, because pretty much as soon as Tiger King happened, people got extremely goddamn sick of hearing about it. We did, you did, actual tigers in their actual natural habitat probably did. Still, though, something with that level of cultural impact can’t just go away, which is why Peacock is making a show about Tiger King breakout star(?) Joe Exotic and why Amazon briefly tried to do the same with Nicolas Cage in the starring role.
