Lethal Weapon: Preview Released for New FOX Series

Lethal Weapon TV show on FOX: season 1: (canceled or renewed?).

Watch a preview for the Lethal Weapon TV show premiering at 8:00pm ET/PT, Wednesdays this fall, on FOX. Starring Clayne Crawford and Damon Wayans, Sr., the Lethal Weapon TV series is based on the movie franchise of the same name.

This action-adventure cop buddy show follows the iconic Riggs (Crawford) and Murtaugh (Wayans), as they work a crime-ridden beat in modern-day L.A. Lethal Weapon is executive produced by writer Matt Miller, director McG, Dan Lin, and Jennifer Gwartz.

From the moment the impulsive Martin Riggs meets by-the-book Roger Murtaugh, their partnership seems doomed. After their first case though, the men realize it might work, provided Riggs doesn’t get them killed.

FOX says:

LETHAL WEAPON

Combining action and drama with friendship and humor, LETHAL WEAPON reboots the hit movie franchise, as it follows classic cop duo Riggs and Murtaugh, who are working a crime-ridden beat in modern-day Los Angeles. Grief-stricken after the loss of his young wife and unborn child, ex-Navy SEAL-turned-detective MARTIN RIGGS (Clayne Crawford, “Rectify”) moves to California to “start over” at the LAPD. He’s paired up with ROGER MURTAUGH (Emmy Award nominee Damon Wayans, Sr., “My Wife and Kids,” “In Living Color”), who’s just coming back to the job after a near-fatal heart attack. Riggs’ penchant for diving headfirst into the line of fire immediately clashes with Murtaugh’s prudent, by-the-book technique. It’s clear from the moment they meet, this partnership could be lethal. But during their first case together, Riggs drags Murtaugh on a high-speed chase culminating inside the Long Beach Grand Prix and into a seaport shootout with drug dealers – and despite his protests, the older cop feels more alive than he has in years. Meanwhile, Riggs gets a glimpse of why Murtaugh is so determined to get home safely at the end of each day – he’s got a family and a newborn baby of his own. By the time their investigation ends, Riggs realizes he may have found something worth living for – a partner and friend like Murtaugh. And even Murtaugh figures this arrangement might just work out after all. If only Riggs doesn’t get them killed first…
