Fox's 'Lethal Weapon' TV Series Doesn't Rule out 'Lethal Weapon 5'
During the Television Critics Association, Fox featured its upcoming Lethal Weapon TV series, which stars Damon Wayans and Clayne Crawford as the main characters Roger Murtaugh and Martin Riggs.
During the panel, the producers have incited that the series does not mean a fifth film won't happen in the franchise. “There’s still potential for a Lethal Weapon 5,” executive producer Dan Lin said.
“The film department was gracious to let us extend the series on television but there may be a Lethal Weapon 5 in the future but for now the focus is 100% on the TV show.”
“Once we’d sold the show, we sat down with Richard Donner, just wanted to get his blessing on things. We pitched him this is what the show would be like. He said, ‘Great, but if you don’t have the guys, you’re screwed," series creator Matt Miller said of the film franchise director.
The show is set to blend police procedural elements with evolving character drama to feature new adventures every week. “That said, there’s a season long mythology and arc we’ll be telling. It starts with the pilot. By the end of however many episodes, there’ll be, I don’t know resolution, but we’ll follow a thread through the series.”
