First Riggs leaves, now Murtaugh? Deadline reports Damon Wayans is leaving FOX’s Lethal Weapon reboot.
The cop drama, which just debuted its third season, just saw a main character exit. Lead star Clayne Crawford (who played Martin Riggs) was fired from the series after season two. The cast now includes Seann William Scott, Kevin Rahm, Johnathan Fernandez, Michelle Mitchenor, Keesha Sharp, Dante Brown, and Chandler Kinney.
So why is Wayans leaving Lethal Weapon? In a recent interview, he blamed the long work days on the FOX TV show, which can sometimes last as long as 16 hours.
Wayans says he’ll complete filming 13 episodes of season three of Lethal Weapon. He notes that he hopes this will give producers enough time to replace him. But, given the show’s mediocre ratings, will the show be cancelled without him?
What do you think? Are you a fan of Lethal Weapon? Would you watch without Wayans?
