Spending the bank holiday weekend in lockdown would seem like a bit of a drag at first, however, the gods of Netflix have once again come good - the new episode of Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness is available on the streaming service now.
The mysterious extra episode of Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness was confirmed to premiere today (12 April), following Jeff Lowe's recent announcement video, which you can see above.

It features never-before-seen interviews with John Reinke, Joshua Dial, John Finlay, Saff, Erik Cowie, Rick Kirkman, and Jeff and Lauren Lowe.
Hosted by Joel McHale, The Tiger King and I gives viewers a much-appreciated bonus hit of the Netflix documentary that has basically dominated online discourse since it first aired back in March.
Current G.W. Zoo owner Jeff Lowe announced the news that we would be getting another instalment in a video which was tweeted by Justin Turner - baseball player for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Justin and Jeff came to know each other when the baseball star spoke about the hit docuseries on his wife Kourtney Turner's podcast.

If you haven't seen Tiger King, then you are seriously missing out. It's about Joseph Maldonado-Passage, aka 'Joe Exotic' - the owner of a roadside zoo in Oklahoma. He is currently serving a 22-year prison sentence for being caught trying to pay someone to kill his rival - animal rights activist Carole Baskin.
Following the show's release, law enforcement officers in Florida have also launched another investigation into the disappearance of Baskin's second husband Jack 'Don' Lewis in 1997. Joe Exotic has consistently accused Baskin of 'feeding [Lewis] to the tigers', although she has always denied any involvement and was also never a suspect or even a person of interest, according to police.
Another controversial 'Carole f***in' Baskin' conspiracy theory is also doing the rounds.
A somewhat fanciful fan on Facebook demonstrated an imagination worthy of the finest crime writers, posting: "Jeff is Carole's abusive first husband who she paid off to go take Joe down. She rented a mansion and that caw to draw him in.

"Jeff and (James Garretson) even admit they directed Joe to kill Carole. When Joe didn't do it, they needed him to pay, he didn't. So Jeff sent his friend and he 'chickened out' on purpose.
"Carole then paid them all off. All the convicts around him, except (Kelci Saffery) and (John Reinke).
"Too bad I wasn't the police investigator, I would of definitely caught this bulls**t.
"Jeff even told the cops about the Tiger skulls, because they didn't have enough to keep him otherwise on the bogs 'killing plot'."
