For almost a week now, Showtime has been running online promos, teasing the July 15 premiere of “perhaps the most dangerous show in the history of television” with a lead character that is “shameless”, “unhinged” and “cold-blooded.”
They were followed yesterday by a cryptic video tweet by Cohen that “He’s back as you’ve never seen him before.” There was no date listed about his project but the Borat and Ali G star said it was coming “soon.”
Reps for Showtime would not comment on the Sacha Baron Cohen series and whether it is the mystery show the network had been promoting.
According to Variety, which first reported about the Sacha Baron Cohen Showtime series, it is said to be in the vein of the interview-based Da Ali G Show, which put the sock comedian on the map. It aired on Channel 4 in the U.K. before being picked up by HBO in the U.S. The irreverent comedy show introduced several characters that were spun off into their own movies, Ali G, Borat and Brüno.
