Amazon Studios has unveiled the first trailer for Coming 2 America, which sees the return of Eddie Murphy as the charming Prince Akeem.
In the upcoming sequel, Prince Akeem, who is set to become the king of the fictional country of Zamunda, finds out he has a son he never knew about a street-savvy Queens native, Lavelle.
To honor the former kings dying wish to raise his grandson as the crown prince, Akeem and his younger brother, Semmi, once again leave for America.
The 1988 Coming to America, directed by John Landis, introduced Murphy as a young royal who moves to New York City to escape an arranged marriage.
Murphys co-stars James Earl Jones and Arsenio Hall will also reprise their roles as King Jaffe Joffer and Semmi, respectively.
