Sacha Baron Cohen has revealed that a second season of Who Is America? could not happen… at least not for a long while.
When Who Is America? landed on our screens, the nation was shocked to see some big political names hilariously reveal their true nature when approached by an undercover Sacha Baron Cohen. Now, the comedian/actor has confirmed that although season one was indeed a success, a second season just wouldn’t work.
“It would be impossible,” he revealed to Deadline. “We relied on the fact that no-one was expecting me. I hadn’t done anything undercover for over a decade and so nobody thought, ‘Oh wait a minute, is this a Sacha Baron Cohen character?’
“That’s the problem. You’d have to wait another 10 years to get away with it again, otherwise you’d have some very slim pickings. And no publicist worth his or her weight would allow an interview with anyone suspicious now.”
So there you have it, you’ll have to wait 10 years if you want to see a second season. Then again, this could also just be a cover up…
