This is everything we know so far about the second season - and the biggest questions that need answering from season one.

When will the second season drop?

Most details about the second season are yet to be announced, but there is one reportedly in the works.

Netflix secured the rights to a follow up, but an exact air date is still to be released.

According to reports, it’s unlikely that we’ll be getting a second season until at least 2021.

What will season two be about?

A second season will likely see Joe Exotic try to clear his name, as he has maintained his innocence this whole time.

The second season would also likely look into the fallout of Carole Baskin being handed the Exotic’s big cat zoo as part of legal proceedings between Exotic and Baskin.

Exotic had previously transferred the park to his former business partner, Jeff Lowe, and his mother several years ago in an attempt to keep it from being claimed by those he owed money to.

Baskin sued Exotic (real name Joseph Maldonado-Passage), stating that the zoo had been illegally transferred to Lowe and Shirley Schreibvogel (Exotic’s mother) to prevent it from being seized by his creditors, Baskin included.

According to documents which were posted online, US District Judge Scott L Palk found that the transfer had been made to “remove [the zoo] from the reach of Big Cat Rescue”.

This claim was held up in court, which resulted in the zoo being granted to Baskin.

Exotic had been ordered to pay Baskin $1 million (circa £800,000) for copyright infringement, because he had used logos that resembled those of Big Cat Rescue.

Instead, Exotic granted Baskin control of the land in lieu of payment.
