Lethal Weapon‘s sophomore season opens in Mexico, because what would TV’s best partnership be without a little bromantic getaway?
“When we left the show, Riggs is headed down to Mexico to try to avenge his wife’s death with the head of the cartel, Tito Flores,” executive producer Matt Miller recaps for TVLine. “Murtaugh goes down to Mexico to try to pull him off the cliff, or pull him back from that.”
But the older cop isn’t having much luck at the start of Tuesday’s season premiere (Fox, 8/7c), and that doesn’t sit well with Mrs. Murtaugh backat home. “Trish is getting a little bit impatient with him. She’s wondering what the hell is going on,” Miller says, laughing. “What she finds out is that this is all kind of off the reservation. He’s using his vacation days to be down there. He’s racked up considerable credit card bills, staying in all these fancy hotels and things, and it basically seems like he’s been on this two-week vacation.”
But then a body falls, out of nowhere, and lands on the hood his car. “He realizes, ‘I think I just found Riggs,’” Miller continues. “He races in, and we pick up Season 2 from there.”
Of course, we couldn’t let the show boss set up a tease like that without drilling him for more Season 2 scoop. Read on for all the goodies.
