The trailer for the anticipated sequel “Coming 2 America” is finally here.
The new film sees the return of some cast members of the original 1988 classic “Coming to America,” including Eddie Murphy as Akeem, Arsenio Hall as Semmi and James Earl Jones as King Jaffe Joffer. The sequel is set to release on Amazon Prime on March 5.
In the trailer, Akeem, the newly crowned king of the fictionalized African country Zamunda, decides to leave home to journey back to Queens, New York, to find his long lost son.

“You will be king, but the throne is passed to a male heir,” King Joffer tells his son Akeem in the clip. “Akeem, it appears you have a son … he must be found.”
Murphy and Hall’s characters memorably traveled from Zamunda to Queens in the original film in search of a bride for Akeem. Akeem eventually married Lisa McDowell, played by Shari Headley, who also appears in the new trailer.
While fans will likely enjoy seeing some familiar faces in the upcoming sequel, the new film features a number of famous newcomers, including Teyana Taylor, Wesley Snipes and Leslie Jones.
