“Beverly Hills Cop 4” is the result of an exclusive licensing deal between the two powerhouse media companies. Viacom CEO, Bob Bakish, gave this comment on the deal:

“[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.”

There’s a lot riding on the success of the fourth installment of the series. A previous attempt a “Beverly Hills Cop” television series failed to take off, and the first attempt at the fourth movie was originally slated for a 2016 release. It was also rumored to be in the works in the fall of 2017.

Jerry Bruckheimer is confirmed to return as producer, with Eddie as a now-seasoned cop from Detroit. The first three Beverly Hills Cop films – released in 1984, 1987 and 1994 – have, roughly, earned a total of $730 million worldwide.
