If there’s one thing that seems to be uniting the country (and maybe the world) right now, it’s that we’re all very concerned that Tiger King subject (and hypocritical animal activist) Carole Baskin probably had something to do with the disappearance of her second husband, Don Lewis.

The star of the documentary series, Joe Exotic, insinuated that Carole might have murdered him and fed him to her tigers, and since he’s disappeared without a trace and, you know, she owns tigers, it seems as if maybe the police should have done a bit more digging.
If you have some of these feelings, well, look out – there’s a deep dive into the case in the works.
While Netflix is also working on new episodes of the show, this one in particular is an unofficial limited series offered by Investigation Discovery. It’s titled Investigating the Strange World of Joe Exotic, and will follow Netflix’s iconic docuseries down the Carole Baskin rabbit hole.

This is what ID has said in a statement,
“Love her or hate her, Carole is now in the center ring of the big cat circus. Is she a selfless crusader and protector of animals, who found unimaginable strength despite the mysterious disappearance of her husband? Or are we witnessing Carole Baskin’s master plan finally take effect?
Despite her claims of innocence, did she orchestrate the disappearance of Don Lewis to seize control of his fortune, consolidate power and lay waste to her foes?
No one seems to be talking – except for one man – and that man is the center of ID’s upcoming investigative series.”
So, Investigation Discovery is basically echoing the thoughts of a world hungry for more details, more dirt, more drama, and more Tiger King.

The network promises the show will feature…
“the investigation you didn’t get to see, revealing secrets only Joe knows, the exclusive footage that has never been shown and the search to answer the one question every person in America is asking themselves right now: although she’s denied it, is Carole Baskin responsible for the disappearance of her husband, Don Lewis?”
If you, like me, enjoy watching what my partner has dubbed “murder shows,” then you’re probably feeling good about ID being the one to take on this deep-dive investigation – and their statement makes it clear that they believe it, too.
“ID is the perfect place to find the inevitable sequel to this drama – featuring a missing husband, a hit man, and the illegal business of exotic animals.”

Put on your boxing gloves, Netflix – ID is here to duke it out for all of the Joe Exotic viewers in the house (and there are so, so many of them).
It is worth pointing out that the focus on Carole’s possible crimes and misdemeanors can feel a bit sexist – the men on the program, particularly Doc Antle, are guilty of so many crimes against people and animals that they should have their own cages, no bigger than the ones they provided their exotic animals.
That said, disappearances and possible murders definitely deserve to be investigated, so take your time in the hot seat, Carole.
There’s no word on a release date but believe me, you won’t be able to miss it.
