In a wild turn of events, Netflix's runaway hit Tiger King [1] is getting yet another scripted adaptation [2], and Nicolas Cage [3] has been tapped to play the Tiger King himself: Joe Exotic. It's only fitting that an actor known for fantastic memes will be playing one of the best sources for memes in 2020 [4]. All jokes aside, this is a pretty big deal, as this will be Cage's first ever television role [5].

While Kate McKinnon's series, in which she plays Carole Baskin [6], will be based on the Wondery podcast Joe Exotic, Cage's eight-episode series will adapted from the Texas Monthly article "Joe Exotic: A Dark Journey Into the World of a Man Gone Wild" by Leif Reigstad. If the image of Cage in a bleach-blond mullet and sequin shirt isn't enough to get you excited, American Vandal [7] showrunner Dan Lagana will serve as writer, showrunner, and executive producer. While a release date and title haven't yet been announced, we can't help but give a suggestion of our own: Joe Exotic: UnCAGEd.
