Tiger King has clawed its way to the top of Netflix’s viewing charts with an impressive combined audience of 64 million worldwide in its first month on the streaming platform.
Released last month, Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness follows the exploits of Joe Exotic, a prolific tiger breeder, who ran a popular illegal zoo in Oklahoma.
While the tiger lover was sentenced to 22 years in jail for plotting to kill animal rights activist Carole Baskin and other wildlife violations, the shocking programme was an instant hit with fans amid the coronavirus lockdown, and Netflix bosses have revealed it’s matched the success of hit programme Stranger Things to become one of the most-watched shows on the platform.
