Sacha Baron Cohen is reportedly in talks with Showtime to distribute a new series in a similar format to Da Ali G Show.
Variety has said that “at least one or two episodes” have already been produced. The news follows a social media post from Baron Cohen, hinting that he’s “back as you’ve never seen him before,” alongside a doctored video of Donald Trump insulting Baron Cohen.
Da Ali G Show ran from 2000 to 2004 and spun out three movies: Ali G Indahouse, Borat, and Bruno.
Last month, it was announced that Baron Cohen will play Israeli spy Eli Cohen in Netflix’s six-episode series The Spy.
