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. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
2/22 update: FOX has renewed Lethal Weapon for a second Season. Details here.

Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.

Must have another season, it is great
Please leave it on I love it. Upset it isn’t on tonight 3/22/17.
As a 50 year old I love this show it is 2017’s Miami Vice for me with great writing and some good humor mixed in. Wayans and Crawford are great together, please renew! This is the first show I make sure I watch since HBO’s Deadwood back in 2004.
Love Lethal weapon I am so disappointed that it has to share Wednesdays in 2017 with another show! Lethal weapon is the only show I look forward to watching!!
Please renew this program..it’s the one show I look forward to seeing each week!!
It should be renewed, I live the show
My family and I sit down every Wed. To watch this show. We can’t wait for season 2.
Renew season please.
I love “Lethal Weapon”! Please renew.
Love it! Please don’t cancel
Please please renew.
Love it! Please keep it!
Lethal Weapon is a great entertaining show.Why must all shows be raunchy in order to be a hit. It’s a show that actually shows that kids should respect their parents. I hope you don’t cancel. Please give yourselves and LethalWeapon a chance.
I really like the lethal weapon movies. I wasn’t sure if I would like the tv show without Glover and Gibson, but I am glad I gave it a chance. LOVE it! Please keep it going for many more seasons! I can’t wait to see what is going to happen next! 🙂
Watched the entire Season 1 of Lethal Weapon in one week. I absolutely LOVED every episode. I have been a fan of Damon Wayans since his “In Living Color” days. (Is there any skit funnier than “Homey the Clown?) He still has that comedic edge in this new series and did not disappoint. His interaction with Riggs is ourstanding and I hang on his every word. He just gets better and better with age/time. Season 2 cannot begin soon enough.
I really enjoy this show. The best new show this year. Can’t wait for season two!
