Lethal Weapon Renewed For Season 2 By FOX!

Lethal Weapon Renewal

“LETHAL WEAPON” RENEWED FOR A SECOND SEASON ON FOX

An All-New Episode Airs Tonight on FOX

FOX has ordered a second season of the hit action drama LETHAL WEAPON, it was announced today by David Madden, President, Entertainment, Fox Broadcasting Company.

“LETHAL WEAPON continues to fire on all cylinders,” said Madden. “Every week, it delivers a big, fun rollercoaster ride, but also remains touchingly human and genuinely emotional, and that’s due to the chemistry that’s developed not only between Damon Wayans and Clayne Crawford, but the entire cast. We want to thank our producing partners, Warner Bros., as well as Matt Miller, McG, Dan Lin and Jennifer Gwartz, who have done a fantastic job in crafting a series for which a second-season order is well deserved.”

LETHAL WEAPON delivers a total Multi-Platform average audience of 11 million viewers and ranks among the Top 5 new series this season.

In tonight’s all-new episode, “Unnecessary Roughness,” airing 8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT, on FOX, a murder involving a high school football phenomenon draws Riggs (Clayne Crawford) and Murtaugh (Damon Wayans) into the lucrative – and corrupt – world of college recruiting. Meanwhile, Murtaugh considers a big change in his professional life, and Riggs contemplates an even bigger shift in his personal life, as he spends more time with DEA Agent Karen Palmer (guest star Hilarie Burton).

Combining action and drama with ride-or-die friendship and humor, LETHAL WEAPON reimagines the hit movie franchise, as it follows classic cop duo Riggs (Clayne Crawford, “Rectify”) and Murtaugh (Emmy Award nominee Damon Wayans, “My Wife and Kids,” “In Living Color”), who work a crime-ridden beat in modern-day Los Angeles. Grief-stricken after the loss of his young wife and unborn child, ex-Navy SEAL-turned-detective MARTIN RIGGS moves to California to “start over” at the LAPD. He’s paired up with ROGER MURTAUGH, who’s just coming back to the job after a near-fatal heart attack. Riggs’ penchant for diving headfirst into the line of fire immediately clashes with Murtaugh’s prudent, by-the-book technique. One has everything to live for, the other has nothing to lose.

LETHAL WEAPON is a production of Warner Bros. Television in association with Lin Pictures and Good Session Productions. Matt Miller (“Forever,” “The 100”), Dan Lin (“The LEGO Movie,” “Sherlock Holmes”), Jennifer Gwartz (“Forever,” “Veronica Mars”) and McG (“The Mysteries of Laura,” “The O.C.,” “Charlie’s Angels”) serve as executive producers.

    Good to hear. Glad Clayne Crawford has gotten something other than playing the scuzzy ex. He does a good job as Riggs.

    Watched this one just by chance. Or curiosity. I don’t watch new shows any longer because the networks are cancel happy. The first few episodes were OK. But the deeper the relationship between Riggs and Murtaugh got, the better the show got. At first, I didn’t like Clayne Crawford who played Riggs. But as the show moved on, I saw something that amazed me in these days of PC EVERYTHING, and Hollywood so full of itself that it forgot about The Deplorables in their audiences who are just trying to live day to day working at jobs we might not like to pay bills to keep our families fed and the electricity on. I saw pure, unadulterated entertainment. No politics, no hate, no “relevance.” The chemistry between Mr. Crawford and Damon Wayons has been pure joy to watch. In fact, I hate to admit this, but in the finale tonight, my very tired husband actually stayed awake through the whole thing, something he only does for the absolutely best shows! I hate to admit that I think Crawford’s Riggs and Wayons’ Murtaugh are better than Gibson and Glover! The last few shows made me laugh, made me cry, and made me really love this version of Lethal Weapon which is huge for me as an original fan of all four of the movies this show is based on. There is a depth in both of their performances I rarely see any more. The reason it took so long to decide THIS was better than the original is because of both Crawford and Wayons slowly growing this amazing love throughout the season. It was risky, because early reviews of this show were not great. But at the end, these men are brilliant artists who brought an already explored friendship to life that doesn’t try to mirror the original, it supersedes the original in a way that completely caught this viewer off guard. If you haven’t seen Fox’s Lethal Weapon, I highly recommend you watch from the beginning. And thank you, Fox executives, for finally getting it right. The show AND the renewal. It’s been a long time coming!
