Doc Antle, who runs Myrtle Beach Safari, probably won’t feature in the second season. Antle expressed his disapproval of the first season. In a Facebook post on the Myrtle Beach Safari account, he said he was “very disappointed” by the documentary.

What is Tiger King 2 about?

According to Netflix, the official synopsis of the show is:

“With Joe Exotic behind bars and Carole Baskin closing in on ownership of his disreputable zoo, the Emmy-nominated saga continues its twisted course with Tiger King 2 as newfound revelations emerge on the motivations, backstories, and secrets of America’s most notorious big cat owners. Old enemies and frenemies, including Jeff Lowe, Tim Stark, Allen Glover, and James Garretson return for another season of murder, mayhem, and madness. Thought you knew the whole story? Just you wait.”

The trailer also hinted at showing how the G.W. Zoo got permanently closed to the public.
