Lethal Weapon Season 3 Recasting ‘Wasn’t Our Choice’ Says FOX

May 14, 2018 by RenewCancelTV 12 Comments

Lethal Weapon Renewal

Lethal Weapon survived a third season renewal thanks to Seann William Scott replacing axed co-lead Clayne Crawford.

However, FOX doesn’t want Crawford’s fans to blame them for the retooling, per Deadline:

Fox chairman Dana Walden said, “It wasn’t our choice. Our partners at Warner Bros. came to us and said that they could not deliver the show as it was.”

Are you happy with the recasting? Will you watch Lethal Weapon Season 3 or are you done with the show?

    I think you should bring Clayne Crawford back to play Riggs. He is the only one who could play that that part perfect. I believe you have made one of the biggest Mistakes. I may check it out next season, but I truly believe it will not be as good…… Very upset

    I think they are screwed either way they handle this, as play him like Riggs and people will say he cant compare, play him like wayans and it wont feel the same

    While I loved the quirkiness and insane body movements of Clayne Crawford, I trust that Damon Wayans will assure his replacement will work. LOVE THIS SHOW and WILL CONTINUE TO WATCH!

    No won’t be watching new series , I can’t see anyone taking Clayne Crawford’s place .He was absolutely brilliant in his role as Riggs. It has really put me off the show completely . He did make a statement apologising if he had upset some of the people on set .He is a perfectionist and wanted to get it right. I think there was a slight hint of jealousy between the two stars. I wouldn’t have minded if it had been Murtagh who had gone . I don’t think anyone will take Clayne’s place .I’m devastated , I reall loved the show. Think your decision was the wrong one.

    I will watch the 1st few newest episodes to see if the reincarnation of Riggs will work or to see if the character was killed off in the season ending episode to be replaced by another character establishing a new identity.
    Clayne was integral & to replace him will not be conducive to increasing the viewing audience.

    i love wayans so i guess i’ll give season 3 a try but i guarantee lots of fans are going to back out of it, u can’t replace Riggs with someone who ain’t Clayne, i predict this show won’t go beyond season 3 due to this recasting
