A new special centered on the life of "Tiger King" star Joe Exotic will attempt to answer the lingering questions from the six-part Netflix series that took the world by storm earlier this year. “Joe Exotic: Before He Was King” is a prequel to the Joe Exotic story that ultimately found the former zoo owner and exotic tiger handler behind bars for charges related to animal abuse as well as conjuring a plan to kill his arch-nemesis and fellow big cat enthusiast Carole Baskin.
