Jerry Bruckheimer is set to produce the movie following a one-time licensing deal with Netflix and Paramount.

Netflix has acquired the rights to make a sequel to the iconic Beverly Hills Cop movies, with Eddie Murphy set to star. The Hollywood Reporter confirms that Jerry Bruckheimer will produce the film.

Originally launched in 1984, the Beverly Hills Cop franchise features Murphy as Axel Foley. The other films in the series dropped in 1987 and 1994, in total the movies earned $736 million worldwide.

The fourth movie is set to take place following "a one-time licensing deal with Netflix and Paramount to produce the fourth edition of the Beverly Hills Cop franchise." On an analyst call Thursday, Viacom CEO Bob Bakish said the licensing deal between Paramount and Netflix "will produce a new film based on an iconic IP and further expands our relationship with this important original production client."

At the moment, Murphy is filming the Coming To America sequel out in December 2020 and recently starred in Netflix's Dolemite Is My Name, a blaxploitation movie.
