Eddie Murphy Hits The Small Screen with Beverly Hills Cop TV Series

There’s no Beverly Hills Cop IV in the makes but Eddie Murphy and Shawn Ryan land their pilot production at CBS.

Beverly Hills Cop The Series hasn’t been picked up for series but Murphy emerges as Axel Foley while the story line will focus on Foley’s son Aaron, a blue-collar cop in Beverly Hills who wants to make his own name.

In a report by Slashfilm.com there was a “very competitive” bidding war. Vulture added that the series would be “an hour-long crime procedural with strong comedic elements,” with the feel of a “a buddy cop show.”

There isn’t any reported production or air dates for the pilot but rest assured Sony TV will do its best to bring this classic 80s blockbuster to style for CBS. Hopefully the TV reboot will replace the development hell of BHC IV.
