What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the FOX television network, Lethal Weapon stars Damon Wayans, Clayne Crawford, Keesha Sharp, Kevin Rahm, Jordana Brewster, Johnathan Fernandez, Dante Brown, Chandler Kinney, and Michelle Mitchenor. The comedic buddy cop action drama centers on two very different cops working together on the streets of Los Angeles. While family man Roger Murtaugh (Wayans) has everything to live for, is there nothing Martin Riggs (Crawford) won’t sacrifice to avenge the loss of his own family? In season two, Murtaugh tries to support Riggs, while still keeping his own family in mind and trying to avoid the chaos his partner seems to seek.
Season One Ratings
The second season of Lethal Weapon averaged a 0.99 rating in the 18-49 viewer demographic and 4.11 million viewers. Compared to season one, that’s down by 37% in the demo and down by 37% in viewers. Learn how Lethal Weapon stacks up against the other FOX TV shows.
Lethal Weapon has been renewed for a third season which will debut on September 25, 2018. Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
Will FOX cancel or renew Lethal Weapon for season three? The ratings are way down when compared to the first season’s numbers, likely because the series was moved to a new night and away from the network’s top-rated Empire series. For now, I think it will land a renewal, mostly because FOX has lots of other lower-rated shows. However, there have reportedly been some issues with Crawford so that could scuttle the renewal. I will keep an eye on the Nielsens and will update this page with breaking developments. Subscribe for free updates on any Lethal Weapon cancellation or renewal news.

Just cut Rigg’s hair
Lethal Weapon is brilliant. The show brings a great modern twist to the original franchise. Clayne Crawford and Damon Wayons and the rest of the cast are superb – bring on season 3.
This shoe is amazing I live watching it when comes on
Great show so far. Hopefully Hilarie Burton will become a bigger part of the show. I like her in her role as much as I liked Rene Russo in the movies.
I love Lethal Weapon! The chemistry between the two lead actors seemed natural . I love Martin Riggs in this TV series I want to see more of him so please don’t cancel the show. Looking forward to Season 3.
Please don’t cancel Lethal Weapon. We love this show!
Please renew this show. The actors have great chemistry. Great action, and funny. Great show.
Please renew as I feel it’s probably one of the best shows on TV currently. The actors and actresses work fabulously together. It’s got drama, comedy, and loads of action. What more could a viewer ask for?
We love this funny, quirky show (especially my husband). Please renew!!!!!
