“Lethal Weapon” Renewed with Seann William Scott

Lethal Weapon Renewed with Seann William Scott After 11th-Hour Recasting Scramble

 

 

Now we know for sure – Lethal Weapon got renewed for a third season at Fox!

As we all know, co-lead Clayne Crawford got fired from the show. Crawford’s exit from the series came two weeks after it was revealed the former Rectify star had twice been reprimanded for his behavior on the Lethal Weapon set. In a statement posted on Instagram, Crawford provided details of two on-set incidents for which he was reprimanded, both related to concerns over working conditions.

That is why we got Seann William Scott as the new guy on the show!

 


What do we know about Seann’s character so far?

Scott will play a new character who folds into a partnership with Murtaugh (Damon Wayans). The role will mark Scott’s first regular role on a television series.

He is well known for his comedic turns in films like the American Pie franchise, the hockey comedy Goon and its sequel, and Dude, Where’s My Car?.

 

Michael Thorn, president of Entertainment of Fox Broadcasting said:

Seann is a fantastic addition to this already amazing cast. Lethal Weapon is packed with action, drama and pure fun and we can’t wait to see Damon and Seann together on screen. Matt Miller, his incredible team and everyone at Warner Bros. have been tremendous partners, and we’re thrilled to bring this show back for another season.

 

 

The one-hour Fox drama is an adaptation of the Lethal Weapon film franchise, which starred Danny Glover and Mel Gibson. Wayans stars in the series as Roger Murtaugh, while Crawford played Martin Riggs. The series also stars Keesha Sharp, Kevin Rahm, Jordana Brewster, Johnathan Fernandez, Dante Brown, Chandler Kinney, and Michelle Mitchenor.

Lethal Weapon is produced by Warner Bros. Television in association with Lin Pictures and Good Session Productions. Miller, Dan Lin, Jennifer Gwartz, and McG serve as executive producers.
