British documentarian Louis Theroux to do another profile of Joe Exotic after documenting him before his Tiger King fame

Deadline

Theroux first interviewed Exotic for his 2011 documentary America’s Most Dangerous Pets. In Louis Theroux: The Cult of Joe Exotic, Theroux will revisit the Joe Exotic story in wake of the Netflix docuseries' popularity, using unseen footage. "I spent eight or nine days filming at the park back in 2011, over the course of three separate visits," says Theroux. "I’d forgotten how much we shot until I went back into the footage during lockdown. It’s extraordinary how much was there. Since then the story just got stranger and bigger, and in going back at the end of last year I uncovered a real-life drama that took me in directions I never could have expected.”
