If you watched Netflix's Tiger King or listened to Wondery's podcast about the subject, the story will never leave you. Peacock enters the zoo of stories about Joe Exotic and Carole Baskin with the trailer for JOE vs CAROLE, starring John Cameron Mitchell and Kate McKinnon.

Mitchell and McKinnon play, respectively, Joe and Carole, alongside a cast that includes Kyle MacLachlan, Brian Van Holt, Sam Keeley, Nat Wolff, and more. The series will focus on Baskin as she learns about Joe Exotic's breeding practices and for-profit animal park. It will then follow the animosity that grows between them until it becomes explicitly dangerous. McKinnon brings her signature eccentric humor to the role, but we know her character has a dark side.

All eight episodes of JOE vs CAROLE premiere Mar. 3 on Peacock.
