Tiger King: All 5 Upcoming TV Shows & Movies Ranked

1. Nicolas Cage Series

Rob Lowe Joe Exotic
Netflix

Perhaps the most anticipated project in the works is an 8 episode miniseries on CBS starring Nicolas Cage as Exotic.

This is the only confirmed announcement of an actor landing the role of Exotic. A role that, as previously mentioned, is highly coveted currently. The series will be helmed by writer, showrunner and executive producer Dan Lagana, who previously served as Showrunner for Netflix's American Vandal.

This series will mark the first regular TV work for Cage, who has been in movies since appearing in Fast Times at Ridgemont High in 1982. It will be interesting to see how the 56-year old Oscar winner will make the change to TV in this series, although it is understandable that the role is too good to turn down.

The series will explore how Exotic became Joe Exotic and how that overtook him. This will be interesting as it is shown in the Netflix series that Exotic started out wishing for the same legislation that Baskin fought for, namely the banning of breeding and private ownership for big cats. Seeing the story of how he changed to become the figure that audiences saw in the series will be an interesting story to explore.
