The buddy cop drama will return in 2018-2019.
May 13, 2018
Fox announced today that Lethal Weapon will be coming back for a third season. While the action drama remains a solid ratings draw, its future had been in doubt in recent weeks after star Clayne Crawford was fired over multiple alleged on-set incidents.
Today's renewal comes along with the announcement of Crawford's replacement, as Seann William Scott will be stepping in to play the part of a new character to partner with Damon Wayans' Roger Murtaugh. The role will be Scott's first as a regular in a television series. The actor is perhaps best-known for his roles as Stifler in the American Pie movies and Chester in Dude, Where's My Car?
Based on the movie franchise of the same name, Lethal Weapon follows two Los Angeles cops as they team up to fight crime in the city of angels. Look for the show to return this fall as part of Fox's 2018-2019 lineup.

I’m so sad. It was the best show on TV and although I like Sean as an actor I’m not sure he’s a Riggs

So disappointed losing Clayne! Damon and Clayne were a great team! Sean Williams Scott is a horrible actor and the worst choice ever! Bring Clayne back

Clayne was THE ONLY reason to watch the show. He portrayal of Riggs was pretty much spot on. I'm not sure what he really did or not, but this show needs him, I'll be surprised if it makes it past the first 3 episodes before it gets canned. I hope FOX leaves a backdoor to rewrite Clayne back in. I for one will not be around to find out though.

Does this mean, with the addition of Sean William Scott, that Lethal Weapon will more of a action /comedy with less drama or will it hero the same tone going forward?

They just LOST us as viewers. Crawford IS Riggs. Sean Williams Scott is a awful replacement choice...NOPE. We will NOT be returning.
