    Christine Lahti has collared the pivotal captain role in CBS’ Beverly Hills Cop pilot, TVLine has learned.

    The project, written by Shawn Ryan and directed by Barry Sonnenfeld, is being billed as a continuation of the big-screen franchise centering on Axel Foley’s police officer son Aaron (Brandon T. Jackson), who takes down the criminal elements of the rich and famous in Beverly Hills while trying to escape the shadow of his infamous tailpipe-banana-ing dad (Eddie Murphy, who will guest star in the pilot and possibly recur if CBS gives it a green light).
