Love it or hate it, ‘Lethal Weapon‘ is returning for a 3rd Season as Detective Murtaugh (Damon Wayans) lands a new partner in the shape of Seann William Scott.
Scott is playing Detective Wesley Cole, a former international CIA operative who has been everywhere and seen everything. Cole will find himself navigating a new partnership with Murtaugh, as he adjusts to life in Los Angeles.
As most of you will be aware, Scott is being introduced as following the firing of Clayne Crawford by the production company WBTV after a number of incidents on set where the actor had to be “disciplined several times over complaints of emotional abuse and creating a hostile environment.”
Lethal weapon combines action and drama with friendship and humour, as it follows Detective Murtaugh and his colleagues in the LAPD – Captain Avery (Kevin Rahm), Scorsese (Johnathan Fernandez) and detective Bailey (Michelle Mitchenor) – working a crime-ridden beat in modern-day Los Angeles.
The series also follows Murtaugh’s family, including his wife, Trish (Keesha Sharp), and children, Roger Murtaugh, Jr. (Dante Brown) and Riana Murtaugh (Chandler Kinney).
‘Lethal Weapon‘ Season 3 arrives next month on Fox in the US. The show airs on ITV in the UK, but we don’t yet have an air date. If they follow last year’s pattern, it’s likely to return in early 2019, but we’ll let you know when we hear something more concrete.
