(Albuquerque, NM) Tuesday, June 27, 2023 - REELZ today announced its July 2023 premieres are led by new original documentary special Siegfried & Roy: The Original Tiger Kings about the legacy of illusion built by the famed master magicians before tragedy toppled their tiger empire. The iconic duo blended dazzling magic with an endless parade of tigers and other exotic animals onstage mere feet from captivated audiences. But behind the legacy and wildly lucrative brand there were lies spun to protect the illusion empire including early attacks by the big cats kept hidden from the press, the origins of the famous white tigers and the circumstances and aftermath surrounding the fateful attack that caused career ending injuries to Roy. Sharing his experience as former stagehand for Siegfried and Roy is Charles Flannery who was attacked by a tiger at the magicians' sprawling compound while Big Cat Rescue CEO and Tiger King star Carole Baskin shares what she thinks about the Siegfried and Roy empire and veteran Las Vegas reporter Norm Clarke discusses how the big cat act transformed the town and redefined live entertainment. July 2023 premieres also include new episodes of hit documentary series On Patrol: Live Friday and Saturday nights at 9pm ET/ 6pm PT.

"Our July premieres are led by a riveting story about one of the most famous and grand entertainment spectacles ever in the Siegfried and Roy magic show," said Steve Cheskin, REELZ SVP of Programming. "The master magicians helped kick off tiger mania across the world and their magic wowed millions but the real stories intertwined with their groundbreaking legacy raise interesting questions for our viewers to consider."

Before every new episode of On Patrol: Live is a new episode of On Patrol: First Shift every Friday and Saturday night at 8pm ET/ 5pm PT featuring Abrams, Larkin and Wilson who provide updates of past stories covered by the show and present a look forward to the coming live episode.

Siegfried & Roy: The Original Tiger Kings premieres on Sunday, July 9 at 9pm ET/ 6pm PT. Las Vegas is a glamorous playground for spectacle and seeing the impossible and none signified that more than groundbreaking illusionists Siegfried and Roy. Renowned for blending magic with their astonishing killer-cat interactions their act set a new high bar for live show entertainment resulting in millions of tickets sold and billions of dollars made. But life in the ultra-exotic world of Siegfried and Roy may not have always been what it seemed as the magicians lived by the art of illusion off stage as well painstakingly crafting myths about their relationships with their tigers and even with each other. Then after building that empire based on smoke, mirrors and giant cats Siegfried and Roy's longstanding world of illusions was destroyed by one fateful onstage encounter with a rogue tiger in front of a sold-out audience. That horrific attack shocked the world, unleashed a torrent of wild conspiracy theories and forever redefined their legacy. Siegfried & Roy: The Original Tiger Kings is produced by AMS Pictures.
