Lethal Weapon’s TV series reboot has been cancelled after three seasons, Fox have confirmed.
It’s been decided that the Damon Wayans and Seann William Scott fronted series based on the 80s film classic will no longer go forward after a controversial year off screen.
The news comes just one season after lead character Riggs (Clayne Crawford) was written out of the show following the actor’s on-set behaviour, and replaced with a brand new character.
Wesley Cole (William Scott) was introduced at the beginning of season three, but it wasn’t enough to keep the show afloat.
In October, Wayans announced that he would also be leaving the show, meaning the entire central friendship would’ve been recast.

The show made headlines last year after the sudden and apparent firing of Crawford, who after making his directoral debut on the show, was placed into anger management counselling.
Leaked audio also revealed he got into an argument with Damon Wayans, after a piece of shrapnel on the set he was in charge of cut his head open.
After another separate incident occurred, the decision was made to axe Crawford altogether.
While the actor posted an apology statement online and wished his castmates well in the episodes that were to follow, he later said in a podcast that some of the accusations made against him were ‘blatant f***ing lies’.
