Because of the nature of the film, Cohen filmed the sequel film in secret after Coronavirus (Covid-19) lock-down restrictions were lifted in the United States and internationally. Both sets of restrictions were important to Borat 2 as it was filmed in the U.S. and abroad.

In the film, Cohen reprises his role as Borat Sagdiyev, a fictional Kazakh journalist, and will presumably do what he did in the first film: “[go] undercover to get people to reveal their true selves and their often unflattering biases, with only the slightest provocation.” The first Borat film was a cultural and monetary success in the United States. Borat premiered in the Number One spot at the box office when it debuted on August 4, 2006 and went on to make $262.6 Million world-wide on a production budget of $18 Million.
