Exotic is just one of the weird and wonderful characters featured in Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem And Madness, which has become a breakout hit for Netflix.
An eighth episode, titled The Tiger King And I, will arrive on the streaming service on April 12.
Hosted by comedian Joel McHale, it will include interviews with stars from the show including John Reinke, Joshua Dial, John Finlay, Saff, Erik Cowie, Rick Kirkman, and Jeff and Lauren Lowe.
In a video announcing the episode, McHale said: “I talk to a lot of people involved in the project.
“To see what’s happened in their lives since the release of the series. It’s eye-opening and, hopefully, funny.”
Tiger King chronicles the downfall of Exotic, whose real name is Joseph Maldonado-Passage, as he struggles to maintain control of his zoo in Oklahoma.
It has proven hugely popular and attracted an army of celebrity fans, many of whom have dressed up as Exotic.
