Lethal Weapon, an incredible film franchise that began in the late 80’s and concluded in 1998. The franchise starred Danny Glover and Mel Gibson as veteran detective Roger Murtaugh and the crazy Martin Riggs. Though their buddy cop franchise ended almost 20 years ago, their theatrics are still talked about to this day and FOX is bringing Murtaugh and Riggs back to life with a TV series adaption.
This fall, Damon Wayans and Clayne Crawford will take on the roles of detective Murtaugh and Riggs. FOX has delivered the first trailer for the show and the inspiration behind the two characters will remain the same, Riggs being driven to the point where he feels he has nothing to lose and Murtaugh just wanting to make it to retirement. In the opening scenes of the trailer, we see a reenactment of the worlds introduction to Riggs, this time, in a hostage situation taking place in a bank.
A premiere date has yet to be announced, but Lethal Weapon is set to air on Wednesday nights this fall. Check out the trailer below and stay tuned for more on the series.
