The doc will explore theories about Randy's disappearance and where he went for more than 30 years.
'Sexual Chocolate: Beneath the Wrapper' will be available to watch on Prime Video on March 6, with the film 'Coming 2 America' available to stream from March 5.
Eddie reprises the role of Randy Watson, in addition to that of main character Prince Akeem Joffer and several other comedy alter egos, in the long-awaited sequel.
The Hollywood icon previously confessed that he had wouldn't have made a follow-up but for the original film's "cult following".
The 59-year-old actor said: "We never planned on making a sequel to the movie. We had done the movie and it was in the past. But the movie stayed around. Of all the movies that I've done over the last 40 years, 'Coming to America' is the only one that has a cult following.
"And then, maybe around six, five years ago, I got an idea. Then it took four years for it to come together."
