One of the more high-profile pilots CBS has in the works for the next season is Beverly Hills Cop - a sequel to the film series, in which Axel Foley’s police officer son, Aaron (played by Brandon T. Jones), comes to Beverly Hills. Eddie Murphy is an executive producer on the project, alongside writer Shawn Ryan (The Shield, Last Resort), and will guest star as Axel, who is now the chief of police in Detroit.
Today, at the TCA (Television Critics Association) press tour, I asked CBS president Nina Tassler if Murphy had indicated how often he’d be willing to appear, should Beverly Hills Cop go to series. Replied Tassler, “He has. He’s in the pilot and he said he wants to come back multiple times during the first order [of episodes].”
As for how you approach putting Beverly Hills Cop, which was an R-rated film, on TV, Tassler said, “I think that you’ve got a show that is a relationship show. Obviously, the language they used in the movie we can’t and wouldn’t use on TV. For us, it’s really about the juxtaposition of a guy who’s a fish out of water in Beverly Hills. There’s a lot of comedy on the Beverly Hills police force yet to be mined, so we’re looking forward to that.”
