Just when I think "Okay, that's it. The Joe Exotic story is over," something new comes up. It looks like there's a new TV series centered around the wild story.

The series was ordered without a pilot episode, and will be based on the Wondery podcast "Joe Exotic", NBCUniversal announced on Tuesday.

McKinnon's show will air in three places:

  • NBC Broadcast Network
  • USA Channel
  • Peacock
