It just came out today that Nicholas Cage will be playing Joe Exotic on an 8 episode series.
According to Variety,
The eight-episode series is being produced by Imagine TelevisionStudios and CBS Television Studios. It will be taken to market in the coming days. It is based on the Texas Monthly article “Joe Exotic: A Dark Journey Into the World of a Man Gone Wild,” by Leif Reigstad.
The series will focus on how Joe Exotic came to be as we know him after watching Netflix's Tiger King.
This series is actually the second series to come out surrounding the Tiger King. In another series (from Universal Content Productions) Saturday Night Live's Kate McKinnon has been confirmed to play Carol Baskin. We still don't know who is playing Joe Exotic there.
