'Tiger King 2' Preview Focuses On Disappearance Of Carole Baskin's Second Husband

Netflix has released a preview of "Tiger King 2," and it dives back into the curious case of Carole Baskin's missing husband, Don Lewis.

Baskin's second husband vanished a day before a scheduled trip to Costa Rica in 1997. Lewis was never found and was declared legally dead in 2002.

While some "Tiger King" viewers have speculated that Baskin was involved in her husband's disappearance — an accusation she has denied — several people suggested in the new clip that Lewis was mixed up with some shady characters before vanishing.

"During his last few trips, Don looked worried. He told me he was in danger. He said it was over money. He had some problems with some people in the U.S.," one man was quoted by Entertainment Tonight as saying. "They were really bad men. I asked, 'Bad men?' He said, 'Very, very bad.' 'They will kill you,' he said. 'Bang.'"

Baskin's ex-boyfriend Alan Schreier also claimed that the cat conservationist told him Lewis reportedly "hung around with a lot of unscrupulous type of people."

"Maybe he stuck somebody for some money and they caught up with him," Schreier alleged in the clip. "When I first got with her, I asked her a question to make me feel comfortable. 'What happened? What was your husband like? What was the story?' He did horrible things to Carole."

Meanwhile, another man said in the preview that Lewis was a "good man" but had "made a mess."

Baskin refused to appear in Netflix's "Tiger King 2" because she felt the producers had betrayed her. She claimed she was told that the details about Lewis' disappearance would be used as background context, but to her surprise, the original docuseries dedicated an entire episode to her second husband's missing person case. The episode also included allegations from Joe Exotic claiming that she killed her husband and fed him to her tigers.

In a phone interview with Variety in September, Baskin slammed "Tiger King" filmmakers Rebecca Chaiklin and Eric Goode.

"[I] wouldn't call Eric Goode or Rebecca Chaiklin true documentarians," the Big Cat Rescue founder said. "Why would I believe them? They've already shown who they are. They can't back off of that ledge."

Baskin has since sued Netflix and Royal Goode Productions for showing footage of her in "Tiger King 2" despite her refusal to work with them. She and her husband Howard want footage of them to be removed from the upcoming sequel as well as its promos and ads.

While Baskin has repeatedly criticized the Netflix docuseries, she said she plans to watch the second season in order to defend herself against the alleged false claims that she expects will be made against her.

Baskin just released her own series, "Carole Baskin's Cage Fight," on Discovery+. The series premiered Saturday.

Meanwhile, "Tiger King 2" will debut on Netflix Wednesday.
