Nicolas Cage is set to play Tiger King's Joe Exotic in a new scripted series about the controversial zoo owner.
The eight-part series will be based on the article Joe Exotic: A Dark Journey Into the World of a Man Gone Wild, written by Leif Reigstad and published in Texas Monthly.
According to Variety, the series will get up close and personal with Joe and detail how he "lost himself to a character of his own creation".
