According to The Tracking Board, a Coming to America sequel is in the works at Paramount Pictures, with the original film’s screenwriters Barry Blaustein and David Sheffield signed to write the script.
Kevin Misher (Mirror Mirror, the Carrie remake) is set to produce the Coming to America sequel, whose plot is currently being kept under wraps.
After Coming to America grossed over $288 million worldwide in 1988, Blaustein and Sheffield wrote several more Eddie Murphy vehicles, including Boomerang, The Nutty Professor and Nutty Professor II: The Klumps.
The pair most recently wrote the 2005 remake of The Honeymooners, while Blaustein directed the comedies The Ringer and Peep World.
