Tiger King is getting a second season and if you thought the first season was dramatic, you have no idea what the sequel has in store. The new season is going to follow the aftermath and the effects that the popularity of the show had on all the characters. But this one couple is not happy about the new season.
Tiger Mom Carole and Howard Baskin filed a lawsuit in Tampa, Florida, on Monday against Netflix for using footage of the couple in Tiger King 2. According to the documents, obtained by Variety, the Baskins claim that production company Royal Goode Productions has breached the contract because the Baskins only signed release forms for season 1. They’re seeking a temporary restraining order to stop the release of Tiger King 2 later this month.
In a statement given to Comicbook, Howard Baskin said the couple’s agreement with Tiger King producers Eric Goode and Rebecca Chaiklin was that they would only be involved in the first documentary.
The statement went on to say that, “while we cannot stop Netflix and Royal Goode Productions from producing low-brow, salacious and sensational programming, we do believe that we have the right to control footage filmed of us under false pretenses. We like to believe that most Americans will agree that we should be entitled to protect our reputations in this manner and hold entertainment giants to their word.”
Okay so it seems like there’s a lot of drama surrounding the second season before it’s even been released, but we’re so ready for this.
Have a look at the trailer below.
