Scoop: LETHAL WEAPON on FOX - Tuesday, January 2, 2018

Riggs and Murtaugh are thrown into the world of counterfeit money. When a group of teenagers inadvertently gets involved, it strikes a chord with Murtaugh, who is dealing with his own issues regarding his son, RJ. Meanwhile, Riggs decides to pay a visit to someone from his past in the all-new “Funny Money” winter premiere episode of LETHAL WEAPON airing Tuesday, Jan. 2 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. (LET-211) (TV-14 L, V).

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.
