Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F The heat is back on as Eddie Murphy returns in the first
Published on January 15, 2026 EDT The fourth installment of the "Beverly Hills Cop" franchise will premiere on Netflix next summer, 30 years after the last film.

In 1984, Beverly Hills Cop cemented a then-23-year-old Eddie Murphy as a superstar who could sell a movie on his own. It spawned two more films, but it's been 30 years since we last saw Murphy as the eternally cool Axel Foley.

Next summer the comedy legend returns to his most iconic role in Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F, streaming on Netflix. And the new movie's first teaser trailer just dropped (below).

Familiar franchise faces Judge Reinhold and John Ashton join newcomers Taylour Paige as Foley's estranged daughter Jane, a criminal defense attorney in Beverly Hills, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Det. Bobby Abbott, Foley's new partner and, further complicating matters, Jane's ex-boyfriend.

After Jane's life is threatened, she and Foley team up with Abbot and old pals Billy Rosewood (Reinhold) and John Taggart (Ashton) to uncover a conspiracy. Kevin Bacon also stars as Capt. Grant, with Bronson Pinchot reprising his role as Serge and Paul Reiser returning as Det. Jeffrey Friedman.

"I'm gonna be fine," Foley tells Friedman, donning his shades. "They love me in Beverly Hills."

Directed by Mark Molloy, Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F premieres on Netflix in summer 2024. Check out the trailer below.
