<p>The Oscar-winning actor will also serve as an executive producer on the eight-episode project, which will be written by American Vandal showrunner Dan Lagana.</p>
<p>It is based on the Texas Monthly article Joe Exotic: A Dark Journey Into The World Of A Man Gone Wild, by Leif Reigstad.</p>
<p>The series is being produced by Imagine Television Studios and CBS Television Studios and will soon be offered to TV networks and streaming platforms.</p>
<p>US outlet Variety first reported the news.</p>
<p>Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem And Madness arrived on Netflix in March and proved a huge hit for the streaming giant as viewers under lockdown flocked to its colourful cast of characters and shocking plot twists.</p>
<p>It tells the story of Exotic – whose real name is Joe Schreibvogel – a mulleted, gun-toting, polygamist who presides over an Oklahoma zoo.</p>
<p>He is serving a 22-year sentence in prison for plotting the murder of Carole Baskin, an animal rights activist.</p>
<p>Fans have been choosing their dream casting choices for a TV adaptation, with Shia LaBeouf linked with playing Exotic’s ex-husband John Finlay, and Saturday Night Live star Kate McKinnon reportedly set to portray Baskin.</p>
<p>Exotic said his first choice to play him would be Brad Pitt.</p>
<p>Tiger King will be Cage’s first TV project.</p>
<p>The 56-year-old won the best actor Oscar for his portrayal of an alcoholic Hollywood writer in 1995’s Leaving Las Vegas.</p>
<p>Known for his distinctive acting style, his other roles include The Rock, Face/Off, Con Air and National Treasure.</p>
