UPDATE: July 9009 Archives 2018, 1:06 p.m. EDT Showtime revealed it will be airing Sacha Baron Cohen's new show Who Is America?starting July 15. The trailer is below.

The teases for Sacha Baron Cohen's next project are getting better and better.

Cohen's latest teaser for his upcoming series features one of the most controversial figures from the George W. Bush administration: The pro-torture vice president who famously shot a guy while hunting birds, Dick Cheney.

The short clip explains that the satirist behind Borat and Ali G has been secretly filming a new show, which is followed by a few quick clips and then a portion of an interview with real-life villain Dick Cheney who agrees to put his signature on what is likely Cohen's character's waterboarding kit.

Cheney, who was openly in favor of the U.S. military using torture methods including waterboarding against captured terrorist suspects during his tenure, clearly still hasn't changed his views on the act which is a human rights abuse and punishable by international law. There's very clearly another signature on there too, so Cheney isn't the only one.

This teaser followed last week's video that included clips of Donald Trump saying that Cohen should get educated and punched in the face.

On Monday, it was revealed that the show will be airing on Showtime starting July 15 and will be called Who Is America?

According to a press release from Showtime, the series will run for seven episodes and focus on the people of the United States of America, all across the political spectrum from non-players in the politics game to some pretty big names like Cheney.

The first episode of Who Is America? premieres July 15 at midnight ET online and later on TV at 10 p.m. ET, with subsequent episodes following each Sunday at 10 p.m. ET on Showtime.
