Original Lethal Weapon director Richard Donner and producer Joel Silver will not be involved with the pilot or indeed the series if it gets a full order, but they have given it their blessing. Miller and Lin previously worked together on Forever, which was canceled after one season. Also executive producing (along with Warner Bros.) are Dan Lin ( The LEGO Movie, Sherlock Holmes) and Jennifer Gwartz. Matt Miller ( Forever, Chuck) will write and executive produce the pilot under his Good Session banner, while McG will direct. There, he gets partnered with LAPD detective Roger Murtaugh, who, having recently suffered a “minor” heart attack, must avoid any stress in his life. When Texas cop and former Navy SEAL Martin Riggs suffers the loss of his wife and baby, he moves to Los Angeles to start anew.

The show, titled LA’s Finest, would’ve starred Gabrielle Union, reprising her role from the original film, alongside Jessica Alba. The latest pass is especially baffling: a spinoff series from the 1995 film Bad Boys. In the midst of cancellations, however, often comes news of shows that have been turned down by the networks before even getting the chance to live.
