Axel Foley all growed up. Will his kid be as hip today as he was thirty odd years ago?

Eddie Murphy’s Beverly Hills Cop TV Show Gets Pilot Order

Eddie Murphy is bringing Beverly Hills Cop to the small screen.

CBS has given a pilot production commitment to Murphy and “The Shield” creator Shawn Ryan for a new TV show revolving around the son of Alex Foley, Murphy’s iconic fast-talking police detective from the 1984 blockbuster movie and its two sequels.

The proposed series would focus on Aaron Foley, who works to take down bad guys in ritzy Beverly Hills while dealing with the legacy left by his legendary father

No actor has yet been attached to the central character, but Murphy himself is set to reprise his role as Axel in the pilot and possibly as a recurring portrayal if the project gets picked up.

Really fun movie, super supporting cast, and Eddie was at the top of his form.

Just don't see a series centered around the movie being anything worth watching.
