Even though there's a brand-new Sacha Baron Cohen movie now playing on Prime Video, the streamer's number-one hit is the sequel to a Spanish zombie apocalypse hit from a couple of years ago. The original movie debuted in 2024 and quickly became a word-of-mouth hit for Prime Video. It was set in the immediate aftermath of a zombie outbreak in Spain and followed a man who goes on a mission to reunite with his family. The sequel unfolds in the Canary Islands — humanity's final refuge following the outbreak. The new movie immediately unseated Baron Cohen's Ali G: Who Iz I? from the top of the Prime Video viewership charts, both domestically and worldwide.
The new Ali G movie comes more than two decades after the HBO series featuring the rapper character, who first headlined a feature film in 2002. Since then, Baron Cohen has headlined two movies as his Kazakh journalist character Borat, and another as his Austrian fashion designer character Brüno. The new Ali G film, which marks Baron Cohen's feature directorial debut, opened to poor reviews in theaters, followed by a Prime Video release on October 28. The Spanish zombie sequel debuted on the platform two days later.
