LOS ANGELES, March 7 (UPI) -- Eddie Murphy and Judge Reinhold are to reunite for cameos in the television pilot based on their hit 1984 movie, "Beverly Hills Cop," The Wrap reported.

Murphy and Reinhold will reprise their respective roles of straight-laced Beverly Hills Police Detective Billy Rosewood and wisecracking, risk-taking Detroit Detective Axel Foley in the first episode of the probable series, which will star Brandon T. Jackson as Foley's police officer son.

The Wrap said CBS has not responded to its request for comment on the casting news.
