Lethal Weapon‘s certain Season 3 renewal is under threat due to the conduct of co-lead Clayne Crawford, according to Deadline:
I have learned that Crawford has had a history of bad behavior on the show. I hear he has been disciplined several times over complaints of emotional abuse and creating a hostile environment. I hear the issue has escalated to a point where other actors as well as crew on Lethal Weapon would feel uncomfortable being on set with Crawford. The problem is threatening the future of the show, with a recasting — a rare and dramatic move when involving a lead of an established series — being explored. Fox and Warner Bros. TV declined comment.
Do you want Lethal Weapon Season 3 or should the FOX series be cancelled after two? Should Crawford’s behavior impact the future of the series? Stay tuned as we continue to monitor developments…
Jeff says
Season 3 should go on. Don’t get cancel a show for one person.
American Patriot says
So what exactly was his behavior? As bad as a typical liberal throwing a tantrum?
Kathy Rebecca says
renew the show, if need be recast. There has to be another actor that could pull off his character. The show has good rating so obviously people enjoy it.
Slasher says
It would be a shame. It’s a good show, and the whole cast works well. But, if he keeps being a jerk, then kill him off and get another psycho goof-ball to fill his part. There has to be someone out there. I don’t this Mel Gibson is doing anything…lol
Riv says
Love this show. Please don’t cancel b/c of 1 stupid actor, just replace him, although I do love Riggs’ character. Too back he’s acting like an ass to his crew members.
Dee says
Don’t Cancel. Recast. You can write him into an accident with severe facial injuries along with numerous broken bones. The surgery to rebuild his face will explain the new “face” that would show up when he comes back.
Sheri says
I really like this show, don’t want it cancelled! I love both Riggs and Murtaugh. I hate that one actor has to spoil it all!
Danielle says
I love Lethal Weapon. Don’t cancel the show because of one actor. It’s a shame because CC really did a great job playing Riggs, but no one is indispensable. There are plenty of good actors out there who can replace him.
Stella justus says
Please, please, renew Lethal Weapon for season 3. I am pretty sure you all guys can work this out, I not sure what the real problem going on with Clayne, but to me he’s a great actor. And this is the best tv show on television. It will always be number one on my list.
Sandi says
I hope Lethal Weapon is not canceled and I would be happier if they decide to keep Clayne Crawford. The entire cast seems to work well to create a good, entertaining show. I feel it would not be the same without Clayne.
Liz says
A show is a business…what does a business do when they have a bad employee…they replace them. If they just want to end the show then do it but no one is that important to end one. What going to the next excuse to end a tv show??
J French says
That explains the seasons ending, the Riggs character was killed off.
Unfortunate !!
Will likely give the new actor, character a 3 show chance then move-on if it fails to capture the essence of the original series.
