Fox Renews LETHAL WEAPON, With Seann William Scott Joining as Co-Lead

LETHAL WEAPON will return to Fox for a third season—with a major shakeup.

Fox confirms that Seann William Scott will join the cast as a new co-lead of the drama. (Series star Clayne Crawford has been let go after allegedly causing disruptions on the set.) Per Fox, Scott will play “a new character who folds into a partnership with Murtaugh ([Damon] Wayans).”

“Seann is a fantastic addition to this already amazing cast,” said Michael Thorn, President, Entertainment, Fox Broadcasting Company, in a statement. “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.”
