 Eddie Murphy BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

There has been quite the Eddie Murphy moment these past few days, both on and off the screen. The big headline is his resurgence on Netflix this October. According to Essence Magazine, Netflix has brought back Eddie Murphy’s greatest hits, including the Beverly Hills Cop trilogy and his iconic stand-up special Raw. This curated showcase is a testament to how Murphy remains a cornerstone in Black entertainment, even decades after Axel Foley first charmed audiences with street smarts and a quick wit. Rolling into the fall, viewers are reliving Murphy at his peak, and social media has been buzzing with celebratory posts as fans rediscover classic Murphy—the OG box office powerhouse.

Family matters stole a slice of the spotlight when AOL reported Eddie’s son, Eric Murphy, is now engaged to Jasmin Lawrence, who happens to be Martin Lawrence’s daughter. Their Instagram video of the romantic proposal made waves online and quickly elevated this relationship into dynasty status. There is plenty of playful speculation—will this future wedding be the funniest event in Hollywood history?—but no official date has been announced yet. Eddie himself commented that everyone’s talking about the comic potential of their future child, joking about the power of their family’s comedy genetics. Combine this news with Eddie’s recent tribute to the couple, and it’s clear the Murphys are making headlines beyond entertainment.

Murphy himself hasn’t hit the red carpet this week, but his name is still flashing in the news cycle as entertainment sites like IMDb revisit his legendary career. From his missed chance to star in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home—a story recently revived on JoBlo.com—to shoutouts and appreciation posts for his body of work, nostalgia continues to be kind. That timing isn’t accidental. On Threads and other platforms, fans marked his 64th birthday on September 27 with tributes hailing him as a comedy legend and versatile superstar.

Professionally, there’s anticipation but no hard news about Murphy’s next big project. Speculation remains about potential new collaborations, including talk revived by his and Martin Lawrence’s recent comments about possibly working together again, but concrete announcements haven’t surfaced this week. As it stands, the streaming wave is fueling a fresh look at his classics, family milestones are causing a stir, and social media is cementing Eddie Murphy’s enduring status as both a generational icon and family man. For now, his biographical story is in the spotlight not so much for a new blockbuster but for the lasting mark he’s already made.
