Eddie Murphy

A spinoff of Eddie Murphy's Beverly Hills Cop movie was filmed for television, and you can see the episode now.

The above-canceled pilot of this Eddie Murphy Beverly Hills Cop spinoff did look like it could have been quite good if it was given a chance. This is quite a shame, as it would have been interesting to see Eddie Murphy expand the universe of Beverly Hills Cop. Eddie Murphy was also going to appear in a cameo for the pilot of this Beverly Hills Cop TV series and had also filmed his part. According to an interview with Zimbio in 2013, Jackson revealed the bigger reason this Eddie Murphy Beverly Hills Cop spinoff didn’t happen: “I think we were very edgy for CBS. The network wanted the famed funny man to be a recurring appearance, though Murphy denied that request, as he stated, “I’m not going to do Beverly Hills Cop on TV.” The pilot for this series had apparently been filmed in 2013, though it never saw the light of day, which was because of a testing screening flub that involved Murphy.
