Eddie Murphy - Eddie Murphy To Return In Beverly Hills Cop Tv Series

Back in November, Murphy told Rolling Stone what he was planning for the show and revealed that a fourth movie was out of the question: "I'd do the pilot, show up here and there. None of the movie scripts were right; it was trying to force this premise. If you have to force something, you shouldn't be doing it. It was always a rehash of the old thing. It was always wrong. What I'm trying to do with Beverly Hills Cop now is produce a TV show starring Axel Foley's son, and Axel is the chief of police now in Detroit."

According to Vulture, who first reported on the news, the show being pitched this week would consist of hour-long crime shows with "comedic elements." Murphy is due to appear in the pilot and a few of the following episodes. He will also serve as executive producer, alongside Shawn Ryan.
