Unexpected, but somehow deeply appropriate.
Also of note that Kate McKinnon is attached to play Carole Baskin.

Excited to see JCM score this kind of role, but I'm surprised they're actually going through with this project. I thought the whole "who would play Joe and Carole in the Tiger King movie/show?" thing was just a fun game for a country stuck in quarantine, and looking for something to obsess over together. I'll be curious to see if this actually manages to catch on, or if it will just feel like a desperate attempt to capitalize on an expired fad.

Well, even before Tiger King debuted, this limited series based on the original podcast was already in development. The Kate McKinnon casting announcement came just 4 days after it premiered on Netflix, so it's safe to say that, when the project began, they had no idea how successful the documentary would be.

I never saw the series because why would I want to see white trash abuse animals for hours? Anyway, if anyone can morph into a gross, white trash, abusive, horror of a human being it's certainly JCM. What a talent. ,
