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.

I don’t know what’s going on in my city tonight but Lethal Weapon was NOT ON!!! Please tell me it is not being cancelled.

I love love love this delightfully entertaining series. I can also say I enjoy their personalities so well, I like the series better than Mel and Danny.

Renewed
I hope this show is renewed. It is not as great as the movies but it beats most of the other drivel on tv, reality shows, vampires, vulgar comedies. Give me Lethal Weapon, I like the humor and the serious combination and I like the main characters.
PLEASE RENEW LETHAL WEAPON!!!! Very good character chemistries, cohesive. There is always a sound moral lesson presented in the episodes. I enjoy seeing an extended vision of the movie franchise. My husband and I actually look forward to Wednesday night!
This show makes my husband happy and that makes me happy. It’s a good show. Great cast. Love it. Hope it’s renewed for 2 plus more seasons. Good job Fox. You did good with this one..
Season 2? I think if they are smart with the story line there could be season 3-4. I love the original movies, and wasn’t happy about the reboot, but now I love it even more. The cast, the stories, the crazy sense of humour, everything. So, hell yeah! Renew it!
Please renew for second season I like the show and it showed be renewed for season 2. Please consider for allowing for the season 2.
Excellent show,great casting.Hopefully will have a second season
LOVE LOVE LOVE it! The chemistry between Clayne and Damon is amazing. I think the show is 10X better than the movies!! Please renew !!
Please renew for a second season ! Love it!

One of the best shows in a long time and you have the nerve to cancel it, are you crazy. All the comments are for it or don’t you listen to your viewers. Looks like you are going to lose more viewers. Steve Harvey has enough shows, like him, but put him on at another time slot. Give us a break, most of the TV shows suck, then a good one comes and you cancel. Listen to the people bring it back. Two of best actors too.
