In terms of ideal release dates, Amazon Prime couldn't have scheduled the long-awaited premiere of Coming 2 America better because, with Level 5 lockdown restrictions set to extend beyond March 5, we could all do with a laugh.
Well, there's no better people than Prince Akeem, Clarence, Saul, and the iconic Randy Watson with his band, Sexual Chocolate to do just that.
Yikes, they're just characters that are played by Eddie Murphy alone. Oh yes, after more than three decades, it's time to step back in Zamunda.
Thankfully, the sequel to the iconic 1988 comedy sees the whole gang reunite with Arsenio Hall returning to his beloved role as Akeem's best friend, Semmi.
Elsewhere, we're going to see plenty of the beloved barbershop gang and everyone's favourite preacher, Reverend Brown.
In terms of the plot, Craig Brewer's sequel kicks-off in the lush and royal country of Zamunda.
After realising that he has a son in the US, the newly-crowned King Akeem (Eddie Murphy) and his trusted confidante Semmi (Arsenio Hall) embark on an all-new hilarious adventure that has them traversing the globe from their great African nation to the borough of Queens, New York – where it all began.
Aside from Murphy and Hall, the sequel also stars Jermaine Fowler, Leslie Jones, Tracy Morgan, KiKi Layne, and Shari Headley.
Wesley Snipes is bound to be a brilliant new addition to the cast and we're delighted to see James Earl Jones return as King Jaffe Joffer.
All the madness unolds when Coming 2 America is released on Amazon Prime Video from March 5.
