Lethal Weapon just aired its season one finale last night, but what about season two? Recently, creator Matt Miller spoke with TVInsider about the future of the FOX TV series.
Based on the film franchise, the police drama centers on two very different cops who are forced to work together on the streets of Los Angeles. The cast includes Damon Wayans, Clayne Crawford, Kevin Rahm, Keesha Sharp, Dante Brown, Chandler Kinney, Jordana Brewster, and Johnathan Fernandez.
In the interview, Miller said he plans on bringing guest stars Hilarie Burton and Thomas Lennon back for season two:
I love Hilarie and I would love for her to come back in Season 2. She and I have spoken about it and she’s totally game. It’s literally a logistical question, because she has a kid and they live in upstate New York and her husband (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) is on The Walking Dead. I have to write the story to accommodate her calendar, which I’m more tan willing to do so I’m very hopeful she’ll come back in Season 2.
I’ve spoken to Thomas about it and I would love, love, love for him to come back. I think he was amazing! So our plan is certainly to bring him back.”
Later, he revealed season two will offer a kind of fresh start:
I don’t want to give away too much but the idea is to make it a satisfying entry into Season 2 so we don’t feel like we’ve short shrifted the audience. A season premiere is almost like a reboot of a show so that’s what we’re going to intend to do with our first episode.”
FOX has already renewed Lethal Weapon for a second season.
What do you think? Did you watch season one of Lethal Weapon? What do you hope happens in season two?
Y’all have already cut his hair too short! Stop it!!!
This is my favorite tv show. I haven’t had a favorite show in a while. Whoever did the casting for Lethal Weapon should get an award. I love ALL of the actors and you usually have a hit when all of them are loved. Of course the two detectives are outstanding especially the crazy one! Please don’t change him too much!!!!! Love that wavy curly hair!!!
I think it is great and the chemistry between the actors is great.
I’m very happy it is coming back.
I loved Lethal Weapon season 1 on Fox, and I am happy that it has been renewed for season two, but since the first season ended in March, 2017, why is season two taking so long to premiere? 6 months is a long time.
Lethal Weapon was the best show on TV this season. You picked the perfect cast. I am delighted there will be a season two. I wish there were more reruns while we wait for the new shows. Thank you.
I loved the series it constantly kept me on the edge of my seat
I want to know the date it returns I wasn’t sure I was going to like it since I love the movie but I was greatly surprised that I do like it and look forward for it to return
I looked forward to watching this show every week and wish they would have it on continuously every week. I too like it better than the movie. Looking forward when season 2 starts.
I’m so happy Lethal Weapon was renewed for Season 2… I’m anixiously waiting for Season 2 to begin.
I Love this show Lethal Weapon it’s funny, heart warming, and action packed I have watched every episode and will continue. Can not wait for season two.
I thoroughly enjoyed this series….perhaps even more so than the original movies. The characters are totally believable and I love the interactions between the 3 major characters. Great scripts, great acting and very well cast. Thanks Fox for renewing it….we will make sure we watch every episode.
I absolutely loved this series and the cast. Great show. So glad you are renewing it.
We absolutely love the relationship of the cast on the show. We have watched all the episodes again. The comedy with reality weaved in it is awesome. Glad to hear season 2 was approved.
