Well this is some casting news we can definitely get behind.The last we heard about a Tiger King limited series, it was being developed by CBS with Nicolas Cage attached to play “Tiger King” Joe Exotic and Kate McKinnon cast as fellow tiger enthusiast Carol Baskin.Apparently that show is still in production having moved over to Amazon, and another scripted show will be produced by Universal.
Kate McKinnon is now attached to the Universal show, and will star opposite Hedwig and the Angry Inch creator/star John Cameron Mitchell.Mitchell, who also appears on The Good Fight playing “Milo Yiannopoulos clone” Felix Staples and on Shrill as testy editor Gabe, has a proven record playing less-than-perfect gays.
