It’s no secret that there was some backstage drama last season on the Lethal Weapon TV show. As a result, actor Clayne Crawford was fired from the FOX series and many fans were not pleased. Lethal Weapon saw a big drop in ratings between season one and two. Will adding Seann William Scott to the cast improve the ratings in season three or, will they fall even further without Crawford? Will the show be cancelled or renewed for season four? Stay tuned. **Status update below.
An action-comedy-drama, Lethal Weapon stars Damon Wayans, Seann William Scott, Kevin Rahm, Johnathan Fernandez, Michelle Mitchenor, Keesha Sharp, Dante Brown, and Chandler Kinney. The series follows Detective Roger Murtaugh (Wayans), his LAPD colleagues, and his family at home. After a tragedy, Murtaugh is partnered with Detective Wesley Cole (Scott), a former CIA operative who’s been everywhere and seen everything. How long will it take him to adjust to Los Angeles?
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly in the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival.
