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.
3/17 update: You can see the rest of the latest night’s ratings.

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.
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?
Love the show , pls renew .
i think this show need a badass/dangerous villian to fight with 2 main character
I love this show. As a fan of the series, I was skeptical that it would transfer to a tv show, but they have done an amazing job. I really hope it gets picked up,
love this show but as someone posted above we need a serious villian buildup for a season or two working in the back round while the lads do their daily cases.. loving the inside we are getting into riggs
its an amazing reimagining but it needs to but once a week on the same day each week your going to lose ratings i mean your now only doing an episode once a fortnight and i find that very stupid im thinking if it gonna be released like this im gonna wait till the whole season is out before i watch it and i was really liking watching it when they came out but now its just stupid because i never know when its acctually gonna be on great show but get your **** together and yes to second season… Read more »
I’m loving the show but hating the the way it is not kept to a regular pattern as far as airing goes. You have the perfect cast but need a real series villain. I’d love to see it renewed and treated a little better. two weeks off here and there is what is causing ratings dips, not the show. We never know where we are with it. We brace for the next episode and oh! it’s not on this week. Fox wake up! Mess with the schedule and you mess with the ratings.
I look forward to this show every week. I enjoyed the movies, but this is so much more entertaining. Please renew this series, I had given up on series because of cancellations of previous shows, I would hate to see this one cancelled.
I love this show. It is now my favorite show. My family loves it. Please renew! The humor is amazing. Love the dynamics between Damon and Clayne. The story lines are very interesting.
Love the show! Richard Cabral is AMAZING and oh so good looking as Det. Cruz!!!! Clayton Crawford is an absolute beast and blows the character Riggs out of the water! 10 out of 10!!
Love the show. More please.
Great show. Please renew it. Riggs is great.
Renew it. It started slow but I got hooked after the second episode. It is a must watch for me.
It’s a don’t miss for me. I watch every episode and this is the only series I can say that about. Definitely hoping it will be renewed.
Hooked. So much better than a few other reboot/movie variants than that has come out this year. Love it!
This show is awesome. One of the only shows my woman and I watch together. Please renew.
