Lethal Weapon adds a "Riggs-esque" female detective character

TVLine

Paola Lázaro will play Louie “The Gute” Gutierrez, who becomes Sonya Bailey's partner on the Fox drama. Bailey “ends up getting her own Riggs,” Lethal Weapon creator Matt Miller tells TVLine. “She gets a female partner who is a little bit unglued, a little bit crazy, always wants to resort to physicality. It’s a nice balance between someone who is always looking to pick a fight and Bailey, who’s someone that is really able to use her brains to solve most cases.”
