The "Tiger King" phenomenon is not over yet.
Netflix is releasing an extra episode of the hit docuseries next week, according to zoo owner Jeff Lowe from the show. He revealed the details about a new episode in a Cameo video posted on Twitter by Justin Turner of the Los Angeles Dodgers.
"Netflix is adding one more episode. It will be on next week. They're filming here tomorrow," Lowe said in the video.
It's unclear whether the new episode will be a follow-up to the show's seven-episode run or more of a reunion.
Netflix recently released a reunion episode for "Love Is Blind" and did a post-show interview hosted by Oprah Winfrey with the "When They See Us" cast last year.
Netflix did not respond to a request for comment at the time of this article's publication.
"Tiger King," which premiered on Netflix on March 20 , has been many people's latest TV obsession, especially while everyone is stuck inside during the coronavirus quarantine.
The series follows the bizarre exploits of private zoo owner Joe Exotic, who runs a zoo full of hundreds of tigers and other rare animals. At the end of the series, he ends up in jail serving a 22-year sentence for animal abuse and plotting to carry out a murder-for-hire plot against his fellow big cat owner rival, Carole Baskin.
After it launched, the series became the most popular show on TV, according to Rotten Tomatoes, which gave it a 97% critic's rating and a 96% audience score. It was also No. 1 on Netflix's own Top 10 shows list, and has stuck around on the rankings for nearly two weeks.
Many celebrities have also come out as die-hard "Tiger King" fans. Cardi B floated the idea of starting a GoFundMe to help release Joe Exotic, and actors like Dax Shepard have thrown their names out on Twitter to play the character if the story were adapted to a movie.

That man in the picture is not practicing "social distancing". But he should-- because a Tiger has now tested positive for the Trump Virus!
Hopefully animals will not turn out to be significant carriers of the Virus!
My wife was told about this reality show and we watched for about 30 minutes. I can see where some would get hooked to watch the series, but we both went to Wikipedia and got the needed details and spoilers.
I got a new concrete pad installed, my grill assembled, and the garage organized from the move saved by not watching. Somewhere in all of this made for TV production, the concept of trying to help these big cats stay and survive in their natural habitats has been lost.
I don't get why people are opposed to breeding tigers here in the US? Yes they are in cages but in their natural habitat they are hunted to extinction. What is the harm in the US boosting their numbers if African and Asians are not going to protect them?
They breed them just so they can have "baby tigers" so people will pay money to pose for pictures with them and there are stories that once they get too big they are killed.
Can't wait for the episode where a tornado hit's the "zoo" and the tigers get out and eat half the town of Enid.
I can't watch this stuff. My son says it was like watching a train wreck in 8 episodes.
I watched it and it is definitely a train wreck and they are all nuts
