According to the editor of TigerKing, what made the cut in the Netflix series was just the tip of the iceberg. 'We did end up with a lot of material, characters who didn't make it into the cut at all.'
weren't prepared for it to become one of the most-discussed shows of 2020."We really didn't know and we weren't sure if people were going to make it past the first episode or two. We just thought this is just too weird," he said. Because of time constraints, Tiger King didn't get any type of test screenings."It is definitely a surprise to me and I know the whole crew, so, did not expect that, no," he added.
While editing the project, events kept unfolding, like the death of Joe Exotic's husband. After that, Abel said the story just became"much larger in scope" and filming restarted. With the restart of production, the filmmakers started meeting new players and the threads of the show, like the murder-for-hire plot, began connecting.
Some cut footage includes the reveal that Joe Exotic was not actually singing in his music videos he was so proud of. "We do have a very funny scene where Joe is sort of revealed as not actually the singer of his own songs," Abel said."The only reason we didn't include that is there was a last-minute legal issue where we were worried that maybe he did actually partially sing on some of them, so we decided not to go down that road. It was also a scene that's very, very funny, but wherever we put it, it seemed to derail the story.
"We maintain a list that we call the ‘orphan list' and it was really just all these scenes that we knew were lovely and would love to get in, but couldn't," Abel said. However, upon recent reexamination, he said he thinks they did a good job of getting most of their desired scenes into the series.
