🎬 Coming to America 2 (2025)
👉 Eddie Murphy, Paul Bates, Garcelle Beauvais
The king has returned — but this time, the crown feels heavier than ever. Coming to America 2 reunites Eddie Murphy as Prince Akeem in a laugh-out-loud yet deeply touching continuation of one of comedy’s most beloved stories. Older, wiser, but just as delightfully out of place, Akeem once again finds himself caught between royal duty and the unpredictable heart of everyday life.
Decades after finding love in New York, Akeem now rules Zamunda with grace and humor — but peace at the palace doesn’t last long. When a shocking revelation surfaces about a long-lost relative in America, Akeem and his loyal companion Semmi (Paul Bates) are once again thrust into a wild journey across the Atlantic. This time, their mission isn’t just to find love — it’s to find family, connection, and a new sense of purpose in a world that’s changed far more than they have.
Landing back in Queens, Akeem is met with a whirlwind of modern American chaos — social media, influencer culture, and the realization that New York hasn’t lost its attitude. Determined to blend in (and failing spectacularly), Akeem and Semmi reconnect with old friends, face new misunderstandings, and encounter Garcelle Beauvais as an ambitious community organizer whose sharp wit and strong principles challenge Akeem’s outdated royal worldview.
As the prince learns to balance tradition with progress, Coming to America 2 transforms from a simple fish-out-of-water comedy into a rich exploration of legacy, love, and what it truly means to lead. Between heartfelt family moments, outrageous cultural clashes, and Murphy’s trademark comedic brilliance, the sequel strikes the perfect balance of nostalgia and new energy.
Directed by John Landis, returning to helm the follow-up with his signature mix of humor and heart, Coming to America 2 celebrates how laughter bridges generations and cultures alike.
Full of warmth, wit, and royal chaos, Coming to America 2 reminds us that you don’t need a crown to rule — just heart, humility, and the courage to be yourself in a world determined to tell you who to be.
“He came to America once to find love. Now, he’s back to rediscover what it means to be king.”
