The First Trailer For Peacock's Joe vs. Carole Is Queer As Hell
It's going to be a wild ride for the upcoming limited series based on the two archenemies!
Joe vs. Carole is almost here, and we're finally getting to see some of the wild action that's in store for us thanks to the series' first full trailer!
After blessing us with a short teaser late last month, Peacock is now ready to give viewers a full-length trailer for the upcoming series that stars lesbian icon and Saturday Night Live's Kate McKinnon in the role of bisexual big cat enthusiast Carole Baskin and Hedwig and the Angry Inch legend John Cameron Mitchell as Joe Schreibvogel, better known to the world as infamous, gay zookeeper "Joe Exotic."
Also starring Kyle MacLachlan, Brian Van Holt, Sam Keeley, Nat Wolf, Marlo Kelly, William Fichtner, Dean Winters, Lex Mayson, and David Wenham, Joe vs. Carole "will center on Carole Baskin, a big cat enthusiast, who learns that fellow exotic animal lover Joe "Exotic" Schreibvogel is breeding and using his big cats for profit," reads an official description. "She sets out to shut down his venture, inciting a quickly escalating rivalry. But Carole has a checkered past of her own and when the claws come out, Joe will stop at nothing to expose what he sees as her hypocrisy. The results prove dangerous."
While the description alone sounds wild, judging from the looks of the trailer, there are even wilder - and queerer -- antics to come!
"Joe vs. Carole is a wild ride," writer, executive producer, and showrunner Etan Frankel said in a statement. "It's a fun and rich journey into the story of people who live very extreme lives. When I took on this project a year and a half ago, I found Joe Exotic and Carole Baskin to be utterly fascinating, and this crazy tale about two big cat lovers quickly became an important story for me to tell."
He continued:
"I hope that when people watch Joe vs. Carole, just maybe they'll see these people that they thought they knew in a brand-new way. We knew it would take two extraordinary actors to portray these larger-than-life people as the complex, three-dimensional individuals that they are. John Cameron Mitchell is one of the most gifted and thoughtful actors I've ever worked with. He cares so deeply about the work, and his performance is breathtaking. And Kate McKinnon is simply remarkable. She is able to make us double over with laughter one moment and then break our hearts the next. It was an absolute thrill to watch these two exceptional actors morph into these roles."
Joe vs. Carole premieres March 3 on Peacock.
