Who Is America? was cancelled after one short season on Showtime, but why?
For one thing, creator and star Sacha Baron Cohen believes Who Is America? Season 2 “would be impossible,” at least for another decade, per Deadline:
“It would be impossible. 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.”
Are you disappointed with the one-and-done cancellation of Who Is America? Still hoping for a miraculous Season 2 revival?
