In March 2020, following the commercial success of the Netflix series Tiger King, development started on a limited series adaptation of Carole Baskin's life, headed by Universal Content Productions, with Kate McKinnon executive producing and portraying Baskin, and is based on Joe Exotic: Tiger King, later retitled to Joe vs Carole, which is the second season of Wondery's Over My Dead Body podcast.[5][6] The series was expected to air on NBC, Peacock, and USA Network.[7][8] In May 2021, it was announced that the series would instead be streaming exclusively on Peacock.[9] The series was created by Etan Frankel, who also served as writer and executive producer, while Justin Tipping directed the first four episodes, including the pilot.[3] It was also announced that Natalie Bailey would direct episodes five, six, and seven.[4]
On January 21, 2022, the show's title was announced, and its March 3, 2022 release date was revealed in the first trailer.[10] The show later made its linear premiere on the latter network in October 2022.
