Riz Ahmed and Guz Khan Discuss Their New Prime Video Series Bait at Sundance 2026

Academy Award and Emmy-winner Riz Ahmed always has something new and exciting cooking on the docket. Best known for Sound of Metal, Star Wars: Rogue One, The Night Of, and Nightcrawler, Ahmed continues to push himself and show audiences whole new sides to him in film and television. Now, he is flexing his creative muscles as the star and creator of a brand-new Amazon MGM Studios series, Bait, which premiered the first three episodes at the Sundance Film Festival 2026 for the festival's final year in Park City, Utah. Bait is the story of a struggling actor, Shah Latif (Ahmed), who, according to Ahmed, "gets through, somehow, to the last round of auditions to be the next James Bond." He continues, "When word gets out that he might be the next James Bond, people have very strong opinions on it, to the point where it's almost like his life starts to resemble the spy thriller that he is auditioning for. He's in a long chase sequence, in a way. He's being chased by the critics and his inner critic, and he's pursuing validation." The show also stars Guz Khan as Zulfi, Ritu Arya as Yasmin, Sheeba Chaddha as Tahira, Sajid Hasan as Parvez, Aasiya Shah as Q, and Weruche Opia as Felicia. At Sundance, Ahmed and his co-star Khan stopped by Collider's media studio at the Arby's Cinema Center, where they sat down with our own Steven Weintraub to discuss Bait and the perils of making it in the showbiz industry. Despite its setting, Ahmed and Khan insist that you don't have to be a showbiz obsessive to enjoy the series, as it relates to a universal experience of trying to be successful when seemingly the whole world is against you. Check out the full conversation in the video above, with a time index below where Ahmed and Khan discuss Bait, James Bond, and their upcoming projects like Alejandro G.
