Shane Black, who wrote the original Lethal Weapon has never seen the spin-off TV series.
Black revealed to Digital Spy that despite being the mind behind the original Lethal Weapon (1987),he has not watched a single episode of the show since it first aired in September 2016. He made the confession when he was asked how he felt about Riggs being written out of the show.
“I will be entirely upfront with you: I have not watched a full episode of the show, so I can’t speak to whether or not the first guy was great. I just didn’t watch it,” he said.
“It’s a TV cop show. Maybe it’s great. I’m happy it’s doing well. I do get a cheque every now and again. But please, let’s cast – I don’t know – anybody in the role. A talking penguin? I don’t care. I’ll get a cheque.”
