Eddy Murphy is expected to reprise his role as Det. Axel Foley

CBS was working with Murphy on a “buddy cop” project to adapt the popular Movie franchise to series, however the idea was later dropped. This lead the Hollywood star to work on a new feature film instead. Josh Applebaum and Andre Nemec (scribes for “Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol”) are on-board to pen the script.
