A Beverly Hills Cop TV Show Is On The Way! Here Are 5 Other Movie Adaptations That Ended Up On The Small Screen

It's been close to two decades since Axel Foley graced our screens with Beverley Hills Cop III, but various murmurs and rumours have circulated that Eddie Murphy's most endearing character might return to our screens in the near future. But no-one predicted that it would be on television!
