LOS ANGELES, May 17 (UPI) -- Riggs and Murtaugh are back in Fox's first trailer for their upcoming television series reboot of classic buddy-cop actioner, Lethal Weapon.

The clip released Monday features the unhinged and daring Martin Riggs (Clayne Crawford) meeting the normally stable, trying to take it easy Roger Murtaugh (Damon Wayans Sr) for the first time during a failed bank heist that ends in an explosion.

As the two partners get to know each other better, the duo form an unbreakable partnership as they fight crime in a modern day Los Angeles.

"From the moment the brash and impulsive Martin Riggs meets prudent, by-the-book Roger Murtaugh, it seems as if this partnership is doomed. But after their first case together, both realize this arrangement might just work out after all -- if only Riggs doesn't get them killed first," reads the show's official synopsis.

Riggs and Murtaugh were orginally brought to life by Mel Gibson and Danny Glover in the 1987 box-office hit, Lethal Weapon that spawned three additional sequels.

Ordered alongside a television version of The Exorcist on Monday, Lethal Weapon is set to premiere on Fox this fall.
