A new take on Shane Black's classic buddy-cop franchise, the TV version of Lethal Weapon was at risk of cancellation even before the controversy surrounding star Clayne Crawford broke (the actor allegedly exhibited a pattern of toxic behaviour on-set).

That would've made it even easier for Fox to cancel the show, but instead it's being retooled for Season 3, with American Pie's Seann William Scott replacing Crawford as a new partner for Damon Wayans' Roger Murtagh. The series isn't too old for this sh*t just yet.
