Axel Foley is making a comeback. The Beverly Hills Cop franchise has been on ice for years, but Netflix has just announced that they’re teaming up with Paramount Pictures and Eddie Murphy to bring Beverly Hills Cop 4 to the streaming service. Murphy, who recently worked with Netflix on Dolomite is My Name, has apparently enjoyed his partnership with the company and decided it’d be the perfect home for the long-in-gestation sequel. Producer Jerry Bruckheimer is also along for the ride.

The particulars of the deal are that Paramount have agreed a one-time licensing fee with Netflix that allows them to produce Beverly Hills Cop 4, with the option of a Beverly Hills Cop 5 if it proves a hit. We don’t yet know when production will begin, but Murphy has indicated he’s ready to start as soon as the sequel to Coming To America – Coming 2 America – is complete.
