Sacha Baron Cohen returns to his satirical roots in the upcoming Netflix comedy Ladies First, starring alongside Rosamund Pike in a world where women hold all the cards.
Based on the celebrated French film I Am Not an Easy Man, this adaptation places Damien Sachs in the ultimate nightmare for a chauvinist: a reality where he must fight for survival and success under a matriarchal social order. With Pike playing the formidable Alex Fox, the film promises a brilliant clash between two of Hollywood’s most versatile leads.

With a premiere date set for May 22, the film is already generating buzz for its biting commentary on modern gender politics and its star-studded ensemble. Under the direction of Thea Sharrock, Ladies First looks to be a cornerstone of Netflix’s 2026 comedy slate, offering a humorous yet thought-provoking examination of what happens when the balance of power shifts overnight.
For audiences seeking a mix of high-concept storytelling and sharp wit, this remains one of the most anticipated releases of the spring season.
