Lethal Weapon was a very successful movie franchise but reimagining movies as TV shows have had a very mixed track record. Will this FOX series be a hit in the ratings? Will it be cancelled or renewed for a second season? Stay tuned.
On the Lethal Weapon TV show, two very different cops are forced to work together on the streets of Los Angeles. Grief-stricken after the loss of his young wife and unborn child, ex-Navy SEAL-turned-detective Martin Riggs (Clayne Crawford) moves to California to “start over”. He’s paired up with family man Roger Murtaugh (Damon Wayans) who’s just coming back to the job after a near-fatal heart attack. Can these two live long enough to learn to work together? The rest of the cast includes Kevin Rahm, Keesha Sharp, Dante Brown, Chandler Kinney, Jordana Brewster, and Johnathan Fernandez.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival.

What do you think? Do you like the Lethal Weapon TV show? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
I absolutely love the show. There should definitely be another season.
My wife and I are hooked on this show. Great action, comedy and character development. Very fun to watch. We hope it lasts a long time.
Love the show! Been a huge fan of the movie series for a long time too. Im glad this tv series is actually rebooted into the current decade. I dont think it would have worked any other way. FOX had a good thing going, please give it as many seasons as possible.
Love the show! Please renew:-)
Like others, I wasn’t sure about it. Now? I don’t want it to be cancelled! Missed an episode because of work, so I got on FOX and watched it :p Don’t often watch shows that way.
Love, love, ❤️ Lethal Weapon, you can keep it on the air forever….Don’t Cancel!!!!!
Best show ever!!! My wife and i both Loves it.
When i heard about it i was like really??
Then when i saw it it was so funny and well made.
5/5 stars from sweden
I was very skeptical when I heard about this tv show but after watching it the stunts are as good as any big budget action film. I hope it lasts!
absolutely amazing I love love love it
favorite new fall show, martin riggs makes it 10x better!
I was sketchy when I heard about this movie franchise being made into a TV show. I was hooked when I saw the pilot! I now look forward to Wednesday nights! Lethal Weapon is my new FAVORITE show! It has action, grit, comedy and great acting by the entire cast. As with Danny Glover and Mel Gibson, Clayne Crawford and Damon Wayans have awesome chemistry! This show is a home run! I just hope Fox realizes it.
This is a great show and they are staying true to the movies. I love this show. Not quite as much as I love Grimm.
I was a big fan of the movies, and was a little worried about a series, but I have been pleasantly surprised. This show has kept true to the roots of the movie, while at the same time adding a little more depth to the characters. I love it and I hope it stays on for many more seasons to come!
that rating guarantee 2 or even 3 seasons more on FOX.
I liked the premiere enough. We will see how well they do with the character development. Some of the chase/shooting scenes were a bit over the top at times…
Over the top chase scenes??? SIGN ME UP!!!
Its actually turned out to be one of the few of the new fall shows that I am still watching. Great Show!
It suppose to be over the top watch the movies its always about the damage they do this is fantastic
