Lethal Weapon: Cancelled; No Season Four for FOX Series

There was plenty of drama during three seasons of FOX’s Lethal Weapon TV show — both in front of the camera and behind-the-scenes. There won’t be a fourth season however since the series has now been cancelled.

A buddy cop comedy-drama, Lethal Weapon stars Damon Wayans, Seann William Scott, Kevin Rahm, Johnathan Fernandez, Michelle Mitchenor, Keesha Sharp, Dante Brown, and Chandler Kinney. The series follows Detective Roger Murtaugh (Wayans), his LAPD colleagues, and his family at home. After the death of Martin Riggs (Clayne Crawford), Murtaugh is partnered with Detective Wesley Cole (Scott), a former CIA operative who’s been everywhere and seen everything.  

The third season of Lethal Weapon on FOX averaged a 0.70 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 3.06 million viewers. Compared to season two, that’s down by 29% and 26%, respectively.

For the 2018-19 season, Lethal Weapon ranks in 13th place out of 16 scripted series. The series ranked 10th out of 20 scripted shows for the 2017-18 season. It was in third place in the 2016-17 season.

What do you think? Did you watch the third season of Lethal Weapon on FOX? Would you have watched season four? Are you sorry the buddy cop series has been cancelled?
