-
“We haven’t been able to confirm their production plans, which is why we’re keeping the pressure on,” the animal rights organization told TheWrap on Friday, following the buzzworthy success of Netflix's Tiger King, the doucumentary on big-cat breeder Joe Exotic. “Our hope is no real big cats or other animals will be used.” The untitled Joe Exotic series is currently in the works for Universal Content Productions and has no network attached.
