Lethal Weapon Season 3 Renewal – Clayne Crawford Axed To Save Fox Series

May 8, 2018 by RenewCancelTV 32 Comments

Lethal Weapon Cancelled or Season 3? FOX TV Status (Release Date)

Lethal Weapon Season 3 has flickered back into life at FOX.

Having edged towards the cancellation trapdoor following co-lead Clayne Crawford‘s on set behavior, the series has axed the actor and is searching for a replacement for a potential third season renewal, TVLine reports:

Multiple sources confirm to TVLine that Fox and its studio partner Warner Bros. are actively searching for an actor to replace the embattled actor in the role of Martin Riggs. The outcome of the 11th hour recasting effort will largely determine whether Fox renews the series for Season 3.

Do you want Lethal Weapon Season 3 without Crawford? Should the show be cancelled? Stay tuned for the final verdict…

    It’s a shame because he was my favorite part of that show. No reason to keep watching. Unless the replacement is good too.

      I agree! They are making a mistake. He was my favorite. Him and Wayan were so good. I think the show will not work without him.

    I love him too and he had already apologized. Both main actors make the show and I don’t want it canceled so they better come up with someone else or I won’t watch but I hope they do.

    I can live with that, I thought he was in no way anything like the Martin Riggs in the movie series. This guy seemed too much like a scuz bucket for the show.

    A lil-hair dye, there’s an older actor, Mel……(something)…Gibson, that’s the name…Yea…He could do the job. lol…Yea, I hate to see the show break up. I never thought it would work, when it came out, but it did. So, you never know, the new guy may be good. I guess we will find out. I may have to watch the season finale, twice, just to saver-the-flavor.

    The chemistry between him and Wayans is what makes the show so good. And the ongoing relationship improvements betweem him and Molly also works. I’d say no go without him. But we see how that worked with criminal minds.The new characters don’t really add to that show what was lost with Thomas Gibson’s removal. Adam Rodriguez, Damon Gupton and Aisha Tyler may be good actors but they don’t really fill the void. NCIS has the same problem with Cote de Pablo being replaced by Emily Wickersham. The dynamic is different.Michael Weatherly’s personality fit so well in the show that it lost more when he left.And now Pauley Perrette.Wilmer Valderama doesn’t bring much to the table. And Duane doesn’t either. My point is that all three were good shows that lost chemistry and pizaz(?) with the actors leaving. I still watch NCIS and Criminal Minds. Just like I’ll probably watch Lethal Weapon if it continues next year.But there not the same.

    This show will not be the same without Clayne. If he is gone so am I. I do not care who they replace him with it will not be the same. He made this show a success. He apologized for whatever happened. I am sure he is NOT the first actor on a show/movie that has had an issue when filming. Give the guy a chance. I think this is a HUGE mistake. I do not think they will be able to replace him with anyone that will have the same chemistry that those two have together. Oh well……..the show has lost this viewer unless Clayne comes back.

    The show will not be the same at all without Clayne Crawford as Riggs. This is a stupid idea. They need to keep him or they might as well cancel the show.And that will suck because I love this show. 🙁

    This has been no of our favorite shows but will no longer be watching it without him. He’s the best part of the show and without him it will be nothing. With the fact so many actors have already turned the part down is enough to tell you that. Goodbye forever unless you figure some way to bring him back from the dead.

    Not happy with the removal of Clayne Crawford, but how about considering Taylor Kitsch as Riggs.

    Renew for season three and keep Clayne Crawford as Riggs. No one does any better than him as Riggs. I admit it’s hard to watch when it is opposite NCIS on a different channel, but because I’m able to use the Cox channels, I can watch Lethal Weapon on the following night. I love the show as it is and would hate losing Clayne Crawford as the Riggs character. Please find a way to bring Clayne back as Riggs in a third season.

    I think FOX is so stupid for even thinking about replacing Clayne Crawford as Riggs. You all act like he’s the only actor done something wrong. He apologized and you all can’t even accept that. Lethal Weapon is my favorite show on tv and without him in it, I will not watched it. In fact he’s the best actor on television. So please get your all acts together and quit being so mean, and give him another chance. You all have to admit, he’s the biggest reason why Lethal Weapon has high ratings, cause everyone loves him.

    The comedic dynamic between the two of them was stellar. I’m not sure a replacement will fit the bill. I’ll reserve further judgment until I see what happens, but I’m skeptical.

    I was really skeptical about another TV show remake from a movie specially Lethal Weapon!!! So just out of pure boredom I watched the pilot when it was in the 6 or 7 episode and was hooked! We’ve all seen Wayans before but Crawford? And in the end he did pull it off. I think that this is it would be how the Riggs character would be. And now they are going to find a replacement??? I don’t think so.. Cancelling would be better It would be a miracle that the replacement will succeed!!!

    Fox says it axed Clayne Crawford to save the series?? REALLY?? what you did was axed LEATHAL WEAPON. because and listen now ok…without Clayne Crawford the show ill NOT survive. why do you think the actors you claim you’ve been approaching for the RIGGS replacement don’t want to touch the position. because even they know LEATHAL WEAPON is done without CRAWFORD. so either bring back CRAWFORD, or just cancel the show OK. its over.

    It could work now that his father is dead… concludes that story line. Bring in someone not quite as wacky but just as crazy. Loved Clayne but love the Show as well… we could give it a try.

    It has to be renewed as series 2 ends on a huge cliffhanger!! The only thing worse than replacing one of the main actors ….. is finishing on a cliff hanger. I don’t care who plays him in season 3 ….. there has to be a season 3 !! 🙂

    Those of you saying the show cannot work without him or you won’t watch without him are the reason these actors have such ridiculously high salaries! And who pays for those salaries but us. I like Crawford but there is no excuse for bad behavior if you are lucky enough to get a role like this one.

    Any show can be recast & still be good; sometimes even better! Soaps have been doing it for years.
