When Season 2 of this true-crime series that became a worldwide sensation debuts, flamboyant zookeeper Joe Maldonado-Passage — aka Joe Exotic — will be behind bars.

Baskin won’t feature in Season 2 and has refused producers permission to show footage of her, but we’ll see how that turns out. Many other players are still in legal trouble of their own, though, so there are plenty of possible storylines this season.
