JOE
vs CAROLE | Official Teaser | Peacock Original
Based
on the Wondery podcast “Joe Exotic,” hosted and reported by
Robert Moor, the limited series will center on Carole Baskin,
a big cat enthusiast, who learns that fellow exotic animal lover
Joe “Exotic” Schreibvogel is breeding and using his big cats
for profit. 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.
A
NOTE FROM ETAN FRANKEL
SERIES SHOWRUNNER/WRITER/EXECUTIVE PRODUCER
"JOE vs CAROLE is a wild ride. It's a fun and rich journey into
the story of people who live very extreme lives. When I took
on this project a year and a half ago, I found Joe Exotic and
Carole Baskin to be utterly fascinating, and this crazy tale
about two big cat lovers quickly became an important story for
me to tell. I hope that when people watch JOE vs CAROLE just
maybe they'll see these people that they thought they knew in
a brand-new way. We knew it would take two extraordinary actors
to portray these larger-than-life people as the complex, three-dimensional
individuals that they are. John Cameron Mitchell is one of the
most gifted and thoughtful actors I've ever worked with. He
cares so deeply about the work, and his performance is breathtaking.
And Kate McKinnon is simply remarkable. She is able to make
us double over with laughter one moment and then break our hearts
the next. It was an absolute thrill to watch these two exceptional
actors morph into these roles."
