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.

What do you think? Are you glad that Lethal Weapon has been renewed for season three? Should it have been cancelled instead?
I think Fox has lost touch with the viewers if they are replacing Clayne Crawford. He brings authenticity to the show. But try telling Fox that.
I totally agree!!
I love Lethal Weapon oh, I watch it every Tuesday please keep it on. I think it is a great show.
First series ive liked since justified. I didnt think i would at first but whole cast fit togather good i hope clayton returns and the show too
I love the show but I will not watch if clayne is replaced or killed off!
I sincerely hope there is going too be a season 3.
I and my family loves this show. Plz plz jerk it going.
Please renew really love this show.
Please renew!!!!!
Please renew this show only with Clayton Clayne! The show really is head and shoulders above so much on television with such good acting and a riveting as well as comical storyline, plus it’s clean. While it’s got violence it’s not over the top. So much on network t.v. is unwatchable because it’s so revolting. Loved the chemistry and love Clayne, nobody could fill his shoes so please forgive him for his perceived”wrongs”. Sounds like he had legitimate concerns that he’s being unfairly targeted for. Bring the show back please< with all the original cast members.
WHAT A TEAR-JERKER THIS WAS TONITE!!! PLEASE DONT LET RIGGS DIE!!! WE NEED RIGGS and SO DOES THIS SHOW! LETHAL WEAPON is one of the BEST SHOWS on TV right now!
PLEASE RENEW LETHAL WEAPON FOR SEASON 3!!!!!PLEASE KEEP CLAYNE AS RIGGS. The cast and story line along with the chemistry of main characters makes this show stand out above so many of the other shows..It has a little of every emotion in each show! ALWAYS look forward to watching it & hope to see SOON that it is renewed with Riggs and Murtaugh working together again!
I pray you guys work out your differences. Great show and cast. Bring Martin back
Love this show & can’t imagine it not returning another season.. I need to know what’s happening with Riggs..
Please bring Clayne Crawford (Riggs)back, he makes this show the BEST on television!!!!! Everyone makes mistakes, no one is perfect, but we are all perfect in GODS eyes. This show would not be the same without him. He is why I watch it. Find it in your hearts to forgive him, after all he did apoligize. Signed A True Riggs Fan and faithful watcher❤
Clayne does make the show what it is!
Please do a season 4 of lethal weapon I like the action and adventure
I absolutely love the show and all of its characters. It is my favorite show on TV. All of the characters are perfectly cast, especially Clayne Crawford.
It would be pretty dastardly to just kill a character who is certainly loved by everyone who watches the show —in the last minute of the season. It’s like klllng a friend in our living room. You have no right to do that to your audience.
Please work out your differences, and “get help to him in time.”
Sincerely.
