Its performance not only earned it an early renewal, but also a move to the fall lineup.

Today's pickup increases the number of Season 1 episodes to 18.

Lethal Weapon is one of the latest attempts at bringing movie-adapted fare to network prime time. Today's full-season order is a positive sign that this could be one of the rare entries to escape an early demise that has befallen other big-screen-based series such as Rush Hour, Limitless, Minority Report, and Uncle Buck - all of which only lasted one season or less before getting the axe.

While TV shows based on movies tend to have better odds on cable, broadcast networks seem to have more trouble getting it right. Whether Lethal Weapon will earn that elusive second season will depend on how its ratings fare over the coming months.

This season of the show has been averaging over 7 million viewers per episode across its multiple platforms, which has kept it in the Top 10 summer dramas on basic cable among adults 18-49. Today's additional season order clearly indicates that TNT sees the show as one of its stronger entries.

While Seasons 2 and 3 of The Last Ship were each 13 episodes in length, Seasons 4 and 5 will be returning to the 10-episode count that it originally premiered with in Season 1. Look for Season 4 to drop in summer 2017, with Season 5 following in summer 2018.
