Tiger King Season 3 will most likely show Joe Exotic’s fight to have his sentence reduced, as well as his battle with cancer.
Tiger King Season 3 will also explore the involvement of Allen Grover in the attempted murder plot of Carole Baskin.
Animal park owners and breeders Jeff Lowe and Tim Stark are deep in trouble and are fighting legal as well as financial battles, of which we will see more in Tiger King Season 3.
Carole Baskin’s ex-husband, Don Lewis’s disappearing case, is also likely to be highlighted in Tiger King Season 3 as Don’s family is unlikely to give up on his search.
Who Can We Expect To See in Tiger King Season 3?
In Tiger King Season 3, we are most likely to find Joe Exotic, his attorney, John Phillips, Allen Grover, Jeff Lowe, Lauren Lowe, Jeff Garretson, John Reinke, Ripperjack, and the daughters of Don Lewis, along with a host of new faces.
We can rule out the possibility of finding Carole Baskin in Tiger King Season 3 as she has already sued Netflix for using the footage of her and her husband, Howard, in Tiger King Season 2, without her permission.
