Kate McKinnon’s Carole Baskin Series Gets TV Order, Will Air on NBC

Kate McKinnon has received a straight-to-series order at NBCUniversal Television for her upcoming ‘Joe Exotic’ series, where she’s set to play big cat lover Carole Baskin.

The series is set to air on NBC, Peacock, and the USA Network. Kate will also serve as executive producer alongside Etan Frankel.

The project, written by Etan, is based on the Wondery podcast Joe Exotic and will dive into true events as Carole “learns that her nemesis  Joseph ‘Joe Exotic’ Maldonado-Passage is breeding and using his big cats for profit,” according to a press release.

“She sets out to shut down his venture, inciting a quickly escalating rivalry. But Carole has a checkered past of her own and when the claws come out, Joe will stop at nothing to expose what he sees as her hypocrisy. The results prove dangerous,” the release concludes.

LOL! We don’t know about you, but we think this is going to be awesome.
