Lethal Weapon

edited 2026-06-18

A complete viewing order for the Lethal Weapon franchise, covering all four theatrical films from 1987 to 1998 and the three-season Fox television reboot from 2016 to 2019. The films and TV series are separate continuities — the TV series reimagines the Riggs and Murtaugh partnership with a new cast and is not a sequel to the movies.
