Shawn Ryan Career

Ryan was set to executive produce Confessions of a Contractor, a 2009 CBS television pilot established on Richard Murphy’s book of the same name. The story centers on a thriving L.A. contractor who becomes engaged with two of his female clients. The show was put on hold when casting contingencies could not be met. He was also the showrunner for season 2 of Fox’s Lie to Me and made the crime drama The Chicago Code.

However, in 2012, Ryan’s pilot Last Resort got gathered up by ABC for the fall. On November 21, 2012, it was reported that producers had been given enough information about the network’s programs not to pick the show up for a full season and that they were editing the last episode to function as a series ending and give the fans closure.

In January 2013, CBS picked up Beverly Hills Cop, an hourlong crime procedural with comedic features, with Ryan on board to pen the script and executive produce along with his MiddKid Productions partner Marney Hochman and Eddie Murphy.

Also, the possible series was a follow-up to the Murphy franchise and centered on Foley’s son, Aaron (played by Brandon T. Jackson), a cop operating in Beverly Hills as he attempts to run his prominent father’s shadow. Barry Sonnenfeld directed the pilot. In May 2013, CBS announced it would not pick up the show.
