Former Black-ish showrunner Kenya Barris is rewriting the script penned by the original Coming to America writers, Barry Blaustein and David Sheffield.
The goal is to bring back as many actors from Coming to America as possible, which included Arsenio Hall, James Earl Jones, John Amos and Shari Headley.
As for Coming to America 2’s story, the sequel will see Eddie Murphy’s Akeem returning to the United States to find his long-lost son, who is heir to the throne of Zamunda.
Murphy will produce alongside Kevin Misher, and Barris will executive produce.
