Rumours have been swirling that a new film is on the way after Baron Cohen pulled up to Wimbledon earlier this month dressed up as his comedy character and claimed to be the tournament’s official 'weed dealer'.
Now, Cohen has confirmed that Ali G: Who Iz I? will be released in cinemas on 23 October 2026 in both the UK and the US.
Baron Cohen announced the news on his official Instagram account with a video in which he says in character as Ali G: “Dey haz finally made a documentary about me."

The series became famous for its prank interviews as well as for introducing the characters of Borat Sagdiyev and Brüno Gehard, both of whom Baron Cohen went on to create movies about.
There has also been an Ali G film, titled Ali G Indahouse, which landed in 2002.
Alongside his own projects, Baron Cohen has also appeared in films such as the Madagascar franchise, Les Misérables and The Trial of the Chicago 7.
