For everyone stuck inside over Easter (so basically everyone), we’ve got the best news you’ll hear all day. There’s another episode of smash hit Netflix original series Tiger King set to drop this weekend.

The bonus episode was announced overnight, and stunningly will be hosted by comedian Joel McHale, best known for his role as Jeff Winger on Community. The new episode is called Tiger King And I and was announced by McHale himself on Netflix’s official Twitter account.

McHale is clearly a massive fan, dressed up in a cowboy hat, a tiger print scarf, and even has a fake ‘Netflix’ tattoo just above his groin (a nod to a former tattoo owned by Joe Exotic’s ex-husband John Finley).

The announcement revealed that several key personalities from the series will appear, including John Reinke, Joshua Dial, John Finlay, Saff, Erik Cowie, Rick Kirkman, plus Jeff and Lauren Lowe who took over running the G.W Zoo from Joe Exotic.

“There’s a documentary series on Netflix called Tiger King. I highly recommend watching all seven episodes,” announces McHale.

Tiger King And I will be an after-show hosted by McHale. “I talk to a lot of people involved in the project… to see what’s happened in their lives since the release of the series.

“It’s eye-opening and hopefully, funny.”

At this stage it doesn’t appear that Joe Exotic himself will appear on the new episode, nor will his arch-rival Carole Baskin.

Tiger King has thus far chronicled the exploits of Joseph Maldonado-Passage, aka Joe Exotic, over seven episodes, each more gripping and terrifying then the last.

Variety has reported more than 34 million people watched the Netflix original series in the first 10 days after it appeared on the streaming service, making it more popular than Stranger Things season two.

Earlier this week, Joe Exotic’s niece gave a tell-all interview with the Daily Mail in which she claimed her uncle was 100 times more crazy in real life compared to his portrayal in the series.
