When Tiger King first graced our screens, we thought it could be possible the craziest thing to happen in 2020. Oh, how we were wrong! Looking back, the antics that we were so shocked by in Tiger King now don’t even seem that shocking. Nevertheless, the Netflix show really gripped viewers. So much so, that there’s still story after story resulting from the show. From a Tiger King dildo being released (yep…) to Carole Baskin becoming the owner of Joe Exotics’s zoo.

This time, the spotlight is on Jeff Lowe, who has announced he and his wife are getting their own spin-off show. Jeff and his wife Lauren Dropla briefly appeared on the show’s reunion episode back in April, and now they’re set to star in their own reality show.

According to Jeff, the series will show a lot more information about the “relationship between him and Joe Exotic,” as well as the daily struggles of running a zoo. “It’ll be our narrative on the Tiger King with evidence to support our sides of the stories. And it will be about the transfer of all these beautiful animals from Joe’s facility to the new facility,” he told People.

“And then the day-to-day struggle of running something as big as a 60-acre animal park and all the intricacies of the employment of zookeepers and fighting all of the animal rights groups. They haven’t even given us an exact date of production. It’s in pre-production right now. It’s with The Content Group in California, and it will prove to be very, very informative.”

Jeff continued, “We’re filming B-roll right now. It’s hard with COVID-19 to put crews together and get them all out here, staying in hotels. It’s just a little bit difficult, but I think they anticipate a few more weeks before they start all of the big camera filming.”

Apparently, Jeff is building his own zoo, Tiger King Park in Oklahoma, where the animals from Joe’s former zoo will be rehomed. He added, “please don’t worry about our animals. As you saw on the Netflix documentary, I have been building the greatest Tiger Park the world has ever seen.”

Well, there you have it. Yet another Tiger King style show to, eh, sink your teeth into.
