Murphy will appear in the pilot by the sound of it... But his onscreen son - Aaron Foley - will be the focus of the series...
Eddie Murphy is to reprise his Golden Globe-nominated performance as free-wheeling detective Axel Foley in a TV version of 1984 hit Beverly Hills Cop.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, the US CBS network has commissioned a pilot episode of a Beverly Hills Cop show, based around Foley's adult son.
Brandon T Jackson will portray Aaron Foley, a cop working in Beverly Hills trying to escape his father's shadow.
Murphy, one of the show's executive producers, will appear in the pilot.
If a full series is commissioned, it is understood the 51-year-old star will appear intermittently.
