How’s this for an October surprise? Sacha Baron Cohen’s Borat sequel will be released ahead of the 2020 presidential election. The film will be streamed exclusively on Amazon Prime before the end of October, according to Deadline.

 
As we learned over the weekend, the sequel to 2006’s Borat! Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan is called Borat: Gift of Pornographic Monkey to Vice Premiere Mikhael Pence to Make Benefit Recently Diminished Nation of Kazakhstan.

Per Deadline, Borat 2 was one of the first films to go into production once shutdown restrictions were eased. Cohen and his team shot the film discretely in various parts of the U.S. and internationally.
 
As this point, the film’s plot remains a closely guarded secret, but we do have some clues to suggest he’ll be heavily targeting the GOP. Beyond the timing of its release and the reference to America’s conversion therapy-supporting Vice President in its title, Cohen was recently spotted infiltrating a far-right rally. He also had the cops called on him after attempting to prank Donald Trump’s crooked lawyer, Rudy Giuliani.
 
While filming Borat 2, Cohen also found himself in “risky and dangerous scenarios,” which required him to wear a bulletproof vest, Deadline reports.
 
Cohen was reportedly determined to release the film prior to the election, which is why he opted for the streaming route.
