Amazon's streaming service Prime Video has a pretty solid March in store for viewers. While Coming 2 America, the sequel to the hit 1988 comedy Coming to America, is something of the centerpiece for the month's new content, there also lots of great programming in store for fans of those kinds of classic '80s comedies.
First off, Coming 2 America is landing on Prime Video on March 3. The film, having been delayed from a theatrical release in December, has been a long time coming for fans of the original. Helmed by Craig Brewer, who previously directed Eddie Murphy in 2019's acclaimed Dolomite is My Name, the director said in a recent interview that while the film is a comedy it's also pretty grounded: "What I hope people will like when they see Coming 2 America is that it's 30 years after that fairytale ended… We saw a young couple come together in a fairytale. Well, now they're parents. Now they're dealing with what happens when you're 30 years later. The same thing that's happening in the audience is happening on the screen."
On March 1, the month kicks off perfectly for folks who are nostalgic for classic Murphy comedies or who want a chance to finally check them out for the first time. Both 48 Hrs. and Another 48 Hrs. land on the first of the month--these are the classic Murphy-Nick Nolte buddy comedies about a convict and an ex-cop, respectively, who team up to catch two cop-killers. If you've seen them recently, other favorites from the era like E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial and the full Back to the Future trilogy land on Prime Video that very same day.
If you don't want to go that far back in time to catch up on comedy classics, fret not. March 1 also sees Wet Hot American Summer join the streaming service. The 2001 satirical comedy film from director David Wain features a formidable ensemble cast (Paul Rudd, Christopher Meloni, Michael Showalter, David Hyde Pierce, Janeane Garofalo, on and on…) takes place during the last full day at a fictional summer camp in 1981. In other words, the movie isn't from the '80s but it both celebrates and pokes fun at all those movies.
Finally, on March 26, the Amazon Prime original animated series Invincible arrives. Based on the comic book created by Walking Dead's Robert Kirkman, the series follows a teenager named Mark Grayson whose father is the world's greatest superhero, Omni-Man. However, when Mark develops powers of his own, he learns that being a hero isn't easy. Also, it's exceptionally violent, bloody, and brutal.
