Ali G Returns to Screens in "Ali G: Who Iz I?"

Sacha Baron Cohen is bringing back his iconic character Ali G with a new film, "Ali G: Who Iz I?," set to open in U.S. and U.K. theaters this weekend. This marks a return for the character, who first debuted in 1998 on a British sketch comedy show and later starred in "Da Ali G Show" and the 2002 film "Ali G Indahouse."

Cohen himself is directing "Ali G: Who Iz I?," which is a standalone movie rather than a direct sequel to "Ali G Indahouse." Morgana Robinson, who appeared in the first film, will co-star alongside Cohen. The film's release in theaters began on Friday, October 23.

For audiences looking to watch "Ali G: Who Iz I?" at home, the film is not yet available on streaming platforms. As an Amazon MGM movie, it is expected to eventually be released on Amazon Prime Video. However, a specific streaming release date has not yet been announced.

Historically, Amazon MGM titles have shown varied release schedules after their theatrical runs. Some films have arrived on Prime Video approximately seven to nine weeks after their cinema debut, while others have taken two to three months. If "Ali G: Who Iz I?" follows a similar pattern to other recent Amazon MGM releases, it could potentially begin streaming around December 2026. However, there is also a possibility of a longer wait, extending into January or February 2027. This timing remains speculative due to the inconsistent release strategies for these films.

Details regarding subscription and potential free trials for Amazon Prime Video were also provided. The service costs $14.99 per month or $139 per year, with a 30-day free trial available for new subscribers. Discounted memberships are also offered for young adults aged 18-24.

Until the streaming release, the only way to see "Ali G: Who Iz I?" is by attending a theatrical screening. Showtimes can be found via Fandango.
