Who Is America?

Who Is America? is a standalone Limited Series designed as a completed, finite historical narrative. Sacha Baron Cohen spent over a year in deep undercover production to create a satirical portrait of the American political and cultural landscape. The series utilized heavy prosthetics and elaborate backstories to facilitate interviews with public figures and private citizens, capturing candid reactions that defined the sociopolitical climate of the late 2010s.

The production was intended as a singular, concentrated effort rather than a multi-season endeavor due to the inherent expiration date of Cohen's disguises. Once the series aired and the new personas became part of the public consciousness, the anonymity required for the show's format was effectively compromised. Showtime and Cohen have maintained that the project achieved its goal within its seven-episode run, concluding the narrative as a self-contained work of investigative comedy.
