Martin Riggs’ devotion to his dead wife, Miranda, has nearly killed him several times since Lethal Weapon‘s debut. But in the Season 2 premiere, his love for his police partner — and vice-versa — proves a lifesaver.
At the start of “El Gringo Loco,” Riggs is still Mia in Baja, Mexico, two weeks after the events of the finale.

Morelia, Mexico -- Mexican shingle Goliat Films has begun shooting "Nomads," an English-language drama with an international cast featuring Lucy Liu, John Cothran Jr. and Tamlyn Tomita.
