The sequel is directed by Craig Brewer, who previously directed Murphy in Dolemite Is My Name.
More than 30 years after the original film, Coming to America is finally getting a sequel.
It’s called Coming 2 America (ha) and it once again stars Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall, reprising their roles as Zamundan prince Akeem and his trusted friend Semmi — plus assorted other roles much like the original film, which was directed by John Landis and remains one of the most beloved of Murphy’s career.
Coming 2 America premieres on Amazon Prime Video on March 5, 2021.
