The streamer also revealed details of its other upcoming true crime docs, including titles Bad Vegan and The Tinder Swindler.

Netflix has confirmed that a sequel to its massive hit documentary series Tiger King will premiere this year for all you cool cats and kittens.

Detailing the life of controversial zookeeper Joe Exotic, the first season of the show dropped to the streaming service in the early months of the Covid-19 pandemic.

It became a global phenomenon, attracting viewers from 64 million households in just the first four weeks after its premiere.

As such, it’s no surprise Tiger King 2 has been greenlit, with the sequel to arrive on the streamer later in 2021.

An exact date has yet to be set but Netflix has promised “more madness and mayhem”.

On top of this, the streaming service is looking to cement itself as the home of true crime with its upcoming documentary slate.

Alongside Tiger King 2, Netflix revealed details of four other true crime documentary projects to come in 2022.
