Coming 2 America is almost here and, despite doing that weird thing when you put a literal number inside the title, we’re quite looking forward to it.

Coming to America came out in 1988, so it’s been… 33 years since the original hit theatres? It’s testament to its success and cultural impact that anyone is interested in a sequel. Will it be any good? It’s difficult to say, but the return of most of the original cast bodes well.

The plot? Prince Akeem discovers he has a son in the US and must return to New York City, find his child and groom him to become the heir to the throne of Zamunda. Hijinks, we can only assume, will ensue.

Here’s a trailer for you to check out…

Okay, let’s get stuck into the details.

Release date

Coming 2 America hits Prime Video on March 5.
