FOX Renews LETHAL WEAPON For Season 3 and Seann William Scott is Set to Star
FOX has decided to move forward with their Lethal Weapon series and they've officially renewed it for a third season. However, it will be coming with a major change. The network has cast Seann William Scott (American Pie) to co-star in the series.
Scott will replace the previous co-star Clayne Crawford, who was fired after his apparent bad behavior on the set of the set of the show. Scott will not play the same character, though. He will play a new character who "folds into a partnership with Murtaugh (Damon Wayans)."
This will be the first time that Scott has been a regular on a TV series, and this seems like a show that will fit his style. Michael Thorn, president of entertainment of Fox Broadcasting had this to say in a statement:
"Seann is a fantastic addition to this already amazing cast. 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."
Scott recently made a surprise appearance in Super Troopers 2, but has mostly been MIA. But, it's good to see him a solid gig like this. I never really liked Crawford's character on the Lethal Weapon series anyway, so I'm ok with Scott coming on board as the series propels forward.
