WE CALLED IT & HOLLYWOOD FINALLY ANSWERED: BRANDON T. JACKSON + BEVERLY HILLS COP

“Brandon T. Jackson is in final talks to portray Aaron Foley, the son of Eddie Murphy’s Axel Foley in the Beverly Hills CopTV series.

We reported last month that CBS issued a pilot commitment for the series which will center on the younger Foley, a Beverly Hills police officer trying to make a name for himself in the shadow of his legendary father. Eddie Murphy will star in the pilot as Axel Foley, who is now the chief of police in Detroit. If the show gets picked up, Eddie Murphy will stay on in a recurring role.

Shawn Ryan (The Shield) wrote the pilot script and will executive produce alongside Eddie Murphy and Marney Hochman. If the show lands a series commitment, Shawn Ryan will serve as showrunner on both this series and his new ABC show Last Resort. Paramount Pictures, which distributed the Beverly Hills Cop movies, will also own a portion of the series.” — movieweb

THAT’S RIGHT, IT’S HAPPENING, BEVERLY HILLS COP IS COMING TO TV

“… many were hoping for an update on the long-gestating Beverly Hills Cop 4. Instead, he made the surprising revelation that the sequel is dead, and that [Eddie Murphy] is working on a Beverly Hills Cop TV series. Today, we have word that the actor is teaming up with The Shield creator Shawn Ryan and Sony Pictures Television to make this show a reality.

However, don’t expect the series to center on Eddie Murphy’s Axel Foley. The original report revealed that the actor would show up ‘here and there’ in the series, but it will mainly focus on Foley’s son, with Axel now serving as the Detroit Chief of Police.” - movieweb
