Louis Theroux is back on our screens with a brand new documentary which sees the famed filmmaker revisit the subject of self-proclaimed “Tiger King” Joe Exotic.
The 90-minute programme comes 10 years after Theroux first met Exotic, real name Joseph Maldonado-Passage, whilst making his documentary America’s Most Dangerous Pets.
Heading back to Oklahoma, Theroux will explore what has happened since, with the big cat man now residing in a federal prison, having been found guilty of a murder-for-hire plot and multiple animal cruelty charges.

The British filmmaker meets the team trying to get Exotic out of prison and those closest to him, some of whom have never spoken on camera before.
