The zoo owner announced the new instalment in a video on Twitter: “Netflix is adding one more episode. It will be on next week. They’re filming here tomorrow.”
It is not clear how filming is taking place while the US is under lockdown, or whether the new episode will be a continuation of the series or more of a reunion special.
The Independent has contacted Netflix for comment.
Tiger King tells the story of Joe Exotic, a tiger trader embroiled in a rivalry with animal rights activist Carole Baskin. Their feud escalated so much it ended up with Exotic being sentenced to 22 years in prison for crimes including trying to hire someone to murder Baskin.
When the show came out, viewers branded it as “absolutely bonkers” and the “craziest show ever”.
While you wait for the bonus episode, here are seven other bizarre Netflix documentaries you can watch if you liked Tiger King.
