The hit Netflix documentary series, Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness, is to return for more episode the streaming giant has confirmed.

The seven-part-series, which has become a major hit in Ireland and around the world, focuses on Exotic - whose real name is Joseph Maldonado-Passage - and his life as a zookeeper, locked in a long-running feud with fellow big cat enthusiast Carole Baskin.

The 57-year-old was jailed in April 2019 and is currently serving 22 years for 17 counts of animal abuse and a murder-for-hire plot against Baskin, who runs her own sanctuary in Tampa, Florida.

An eighth episode, titled The Tiger King And I, will arrive on Netflix 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."

On Wednesday Donald Trump responded to calls for a pardon amid online claims Exotic was innocent of trying to have Big Cat Rescue owner Carole Baskin killed.

"I'll take a look," the president joked during a press conference.
