Lethal Weapon is one of many beloved films to receive what could be perceived to be the unnecessary television adaptation.
ITV’s Director of Television Kevin Lygo said: “We’re absolutely delighted to be bringing Lethal Weapon to our main channel.
The praise didn’t end there; Head of Acquired Series Sarah Breslau described the series as the “standout drama” from this year’s upcoming shows, branding it a superb reboot.
While the verdict on the finished product remains to be seen, however, fans have been dealt a first-word by channel ITV who has acquired the series for broadcast in the UK.
