Is Lethal Weapon coming back or not? Recently, showrunner Matt Miller spoke with Entertainment Weekly about the future of the FOX TV show.
The action drama, which is currently in its third season, follows the partnership between LAPD Detective Roger Murtaugh (Damon Wayans) and Wesley Cole (Seann William Scott), a former CIA operative who’s been everywhere and seen everything. The cast also includes Kevin Rahm, Johnathan Fernandez, Michelle Mitchenor, Keesha Sharp, Dante Brown, and Chandler Kinney.
In the interview, Miller told EW the season three finale of Lethal Weapon is a launching point for season four. That is, if FOX decides to renew the series:
The ending is a bit of a cliffhanger, less so than in the previous 2 seasons, but it’s definitely a launch to where we want to go in season 4. Since we’ve already mapped out in detail what season 4 looks like, it will definitely be a bummer if we don’t get to tell that story.”
And what would season four be about? Recently, Miller told The Wrap Lethal Weapon will focus on character development:
This is a show that is very much a character piece with a procedural element in it. And for two seasons we played that hand really hard with these two guys. And forgetting for a second the off-camera stuff that led to this, from a creative point of view we kind of ran that relationship into the ground. And it was really an incredible gift to be able to relaunch a new version of that relationship starting from scratch with two characters that didn’t know each other, with two different sets of problems.”
The season three finale of Lethal Weapon premieres on FOX tonight, February 26th, at 8 p.m. ET/PT.
What do you think? Do you watch Lethal Weapon? Do you want a fourth season?
I love this show and hope that it returns with a forth season.
I didn’t think I would watch after Crawford left, but since I liked Seann William Scott anyway I did and I love it. I am a 64 year old woman and it is my favorite show along with NCIS. I know I’m outside of your target audience, which I think is ridiculous, but I did want to show my support because I hope that there is a season 4.
This show needs to return! Awesome show!
Great show come back.
NO RIGGS……DITCH THE SHOW!!!
I thought the same thing but it has grown on me I think it’s came a long way
I think the show is terrific…it would be shame for it to disappear…but if it does..Life goes on…
Yes show is awesome i did like it alot with riggs the tense scenes made the show really good hopfully they will get there with cole.
Please bring back Lethal Weapon for a 4 season. It’s 1 of the best shows on. And 1 of the only shows I watch on Fox.
I do hope there is a season 4 of one of my favorite TV shows! My husband and I look forward to Tuesday night, and the DVR is set in case we’re not home in time!
Yes yes good acting and creativity The characters have complimented each other stories better each season Keep show going Renew season
Yes I would definitely love more seasons of Lethal Weapon. It is an awesome show.
Loved the final episode of season 3. Season 3 was a delightful surprise. Love the cast. Sure hoping for season 4.
I love Lethal Weapon. Its the only show I want to see each week. Each week it gets better. Since adding “Cole”, I do not want anything to get in the way of watching. The chemistry between them is great. Please bring on season 4.
Definitely need more seasons of Lethal Weapon. Was pleasantly surprised that it got even better in Season 3. The loss of one actor shouldn’t be the end of such an outstanding series. Cole has been a great addition to the cast. Wish he had been there since day 1. Please keep the series going.
Leathal weapon without Riggs “the leathal weapon “? Season 3 should be named ” dumb and dumber” instead!
Great show watched it from the beginning. Was unsure how it was gonna be when Riggs character changed but I feel it was better for the show after watching it. I hope it continues I look forward to watching it ever week and when I can’t I make sure it gets recorded
