Joe Exotic may currently be behind bars - but it's been reported that Netflix are looking to bring back Tiger King for a second season.

According to report by The Sun, Exotic - real name Joseph Allen Maldonado-Passage - has agreed to take part with a view to clearing his name.

His husband, Dillon Passage and Jeff Lowe, another star of the show, have also agreed to come back for a second run of the nutty documentary series about Oklahoma-based private zoo operator Exotic.

It's reported that Carole Baskin, the big-cat rights activist and CEO of Big Cat Rescue, a non-profit animal sanctuary based near Tampa, Florida, Is up for a return too. At a price.

Her feud with Joe Exotic formed the central storyline in Tiger King (and resulted in him being jailed), but Baskin apparently wants as much as $1 million to take part in a proposed second season.

Earlier this year, Baskin made further headlines after it had been confirmed that she had assumed control of Exotic's zoo, after he failed to pay her $1m in copyright and trademark suits.
