In addition to the Cage project, Kate McKinnon is also set to play Carole Baskin in a drama based on Wondery’s Joe Exotic podcast. The McKinnon-led show will be a series and appear as a cross-platform venture on NBC, USA Network and Peacock.

It comes after millions of people tuned into watch Netflix’s iconic docuseries, which followed Exotic’s GW Zoo in Wynnewood, Oklahoma, during his bitter feud with Big Cat Rescue’s Baskin.

In the Cage project, viewers will learn new stories about the eccentric Joe Schreibvogel, aka Joe Exotic, who fights to keep his zoo even at the risk of losing his sanity and attempting to take down Baskin in the process.

The series will get up close and personal with Joe and detail how he turned himself in to the iconic Joe Exotic fans came to be fascinated with, before he ‘lost himself to a character of his own creation’, Variety reports.
