However, the animal rights activist, 60, is currently in the midst of a legal battle.
Baskin is suing the streaming giant and the production company behind Tiger King to block any interviews or footage of her from appearing in the upcoming sequel.
She and her husband claim they were led to believe Tiger King would be ‘one-and-done’ documentary, but the second installment lands later this month.
Despite the lawsuit, Baskin says she will still be watching Tiger King 2 in case she needs to ‘defend herself.’
Speaking to E! News, she said: ‘I have to tune in because there were so many lies that were told about me so effectively in Tiger King, that I know I’m going to be called to defend myself again on Tiger King 2. So I have to know what was said.’
Emmy-nominated Tiger King explored Baskin’s animal rescue work and the mysterious disappearance of her first husband, Don Lewis, in 1997.
It also told the story of her long-time feud Joseph ‘Joe Exotic’ Maldonado-Passage, who is now in prison after being sentenced to 22 years last year for trying to hire two different men to kill Baskin.
Determined to keep up the fight and tell the world the truth about her work, Baskin stars in a new two-part docu series for Discovery Plus titled Carole Baskin’s Cage Fight.
Premiering on November 13, the show takes cameras behind the scenes of the Big Cat Rescue founder’s mission to take down animal exploiters.
Speaking about what this work means to her, Baskin said: ‘I had thought for years, if people could see the kind of life we live going after these animal abusers, and how dangerous it is and all of the perils that we’re put in by trying to save these animals, that people would really get behind saving big cats.’
She aims for her new ‘cover what they really do,’ which she believes Netflix failed to do.
Baskin believes viewers of Cage Fight will be ‘shocked at the level of abuse and exploitation that is going on behind closed gates.’
She claims this treatment of animals ‘has been hidden to the public and the media for decades.’
Her series will premiere just days before the Tiger King sequel, which drops on November 17.
Metro.co.uk has contacted Netflix for comment.
Watch Cage Fight on Discovery+ on November 13.
