Living up to fans' expectations posed a mighty challenge for production designer Jefferson Sage, who came to replace the legendary Richard Macdonald, costume designer Ruth E. Carter, who won an Academy Award for her work on Black Panther, and the rest of the creative team of Coming 2 America. 

Some of the old shooting locations were scrapped — including the junction of South 5th Street and Hooper Street in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, N.Y., which served as the location of the barbershop scenes in Coming to America. Fans have nothing to worry about, however, as the creators went to incredible length to recreate the aesthetic of the first movie.
