The second season was reportedly filmed from 2020 into early 2021, and while it isn’t clear who will return to the show, The Wrap reports that directors Eric Goode, Rebecca Chaiklin and their team of executive producers is returning to head up the project.

Judging by the show’s production schedule and the lead-up of current events, it seems likely that the new season will continue the focus on Joseph Maldonado-Passage (AKA Joe Exotic) after he was sentenced to prison for a murder-for-hire plot against his rival conservationist, Big Cat Rescue founder Carole Baskin.
