Kevin Bacon Joining Eddie Murphy in Netflix Sequel BEVERLY HILLS COP: AXEL FOLEY

Actor Kevin Bacon (Footloose, Mystic River) has signed on to join Eddie Murphy in the sequel Beverly Hills Cop: Axel Foley that’s headed to Netflix. Production on the sequel is underway with Mark Molloy directing from a script by Will Beall. Murphy is back as Axel Foley and will produce along with Jerry Bruckheimer and Chad Oman of Jerry Bruckheimer Films. Bacon joins Jospeh Gordon-Levitt and Taylour Paige, as well as returning stars Judge Reinhold, John Ashton, Paul Reiser, and Bronson Pinchot, who are reprising their characters from previous installments.

The franchise moved from Paramount to Netflix in the winter of 2019 and follows the adventures of Detroit cop Foley, who first appeared in the 1984 smash hit that followed him to Beverly Hills to solve the murder of a friend. The film became one of the year’s biggest hits and solidified Murphy’s movie-star status. It was followed by two sequels, in 1987 and 1994.

This cast is great, and it sounds like this will be a fun new sequel in the Beverly Hills Cop franchise. Are you looking forward to checking it out?
