After a litany of behind-the-scenes drama that culminated in the exit of one of its lead actors, the TV series based on 'Lethal Weapon' is no more. The series will end on its current third season, coming as a shock to just about anyone who's been following the story behind it. Clayne Crawford, who played Martin Riggs, was fired from the series in 2018 after reports of clashes with the cast. Eventually, both audio recordings and footage of Crawford in action surfaced online and painted a pretty terrible picture of both the series' itself and Crawford's behaviour. When he was kicked off the show, the rumour was that the series was going to be cancelled. Instead, Seann William Scott - that's right, Stifler from 'American Pie' - was brought on as a replacement character and it limped on for a third season. To make it even more pointed, Damon Wayans - the actor who plays Roger Murtaugh - was also set to quit the series whether they got a fourth season or not. So, now that it's all over, you have to ask whether it was even worth it in the first place. Could anything take the place of the original movies? Or 'It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia' taking the utter p*ss out of it? Of course not. We're all told old for this sh*t.<doc-sep>Lethal Weapon cancelled after three seasons Variety reports that the troubled Lethal Weapon TV show is coming to a close as Fox has officially cancelled the series. Originally starring Clayne Crawford and Damon Wayans as a new version of characters Martin Riggs and Roger Murtaugh, the series has had its fair share of on and off-screen drama. Reports surfaced last year about the pair’s fraught relationship on set which eventually lead to the firing of Crawford from the series. Sean William Scott replaced Crawford for the third season, but Wayans already announced last year he would not be returning for another season.

O.J. Simpson), Kevin Rahm (Mad Men), Jordana Brewster (The Fast and the Furious), Johnathan Fernandez, Dante Brown, Chandler Kinney and Michelle Mitchenor. Lethal Weapon was a production of Warner Bros. Television in association with Lin Pictures and Good Session Productions.

A rep for Amblin confirmed to Deadline that Steven Spielberg, Amblin Television, Darryl Frank and Justin Falvey are no longer attached to Bull, declining further comment. Spielberg and Amblin TV co-heads Frank and Falvey served as executive producers on Bull for its first three seasons. The procedural drama was just renewed by CBS for a fourth season. Bull, which has been a solid ratings performer for CBS, was never in doubt for renewal though the show became a center of controversy earlier this season over sexual harassment allegations against Weatherly by then-co-star Eliza Dushku, which resulted in a $9.5 million settlement between the actress and CBS. Spielberg and his wife Kate Capshaw have been major supporters of the Time’s Up movement from the start, and I hear Spielberg, who had met with Dushku, didn’t want to be associated with the series any longer. That is a bold move since a long-running CBS procedural is considered one of the most lucrative propositions in the TV business, often associated with a financial windfall for producers. “I actually spent the morning with the three heads of the Time’s Up organization and Mr. Steven Spielberg,” Dushku said in a March interview with Deadline. “We sat and brainstormed and discussed possible solutions for this systemic imbalance of power, the abuse and harassment that we’ve been seeing and hearing and experiencing and both in our industry and beyond.” The Bull controversy erupted in December when it was revealed that former cast member Dushku had reached a $9.5 million settlement with CBS — then overseen by Les Moonves — over claims she was sexually harassed by Weatherly during her time on the show. Dushku detailed her allegations in a stinging Boston Globe op-ed, including what she described as the toxic atmosphere on the CBS procedural and lewd comments that Weatherly allegedly made toward her that led her to filing a formal complaint. She was let go from the show shortly thereafter. Weatherly denied having been part of Dushku’s firing, but admitted that he engaged in behavior that was “both not funny and not appropriate,” saying he was “sorry” and that he regretted the pain he had caused the actress. Amblin Television is not in the deficit financing business, with its executives largely working for producing fees, so the exit from Bull is significant. Still, as any production company, Amblin also is believed to have a piece of the series’ valuable backend. Created by Dr. Phil McGraw and Paul Attanasio, Bull stars Weatherly as Dr. Jason Bull in a drama inspired by the early career of Dr. Phil McGraw. Brilliant, brash and charming, Dr. Bull is the ultimate puppet master as he combines psychology, human intuition and high-tech data to learn what makes jurors, attorneys, witnesses and the accused tick. Bull is produced by CBS Television Studios in association with Stage 29 Productions. Glenn Gordon Caron, Paul Attanasio, Dr. Phil McGraw and Jay McGraw are the executive producers. Glenn Gordon Caron, who served as showrunner this season, is in talks to return.<doc-sep>It was a dark Friday for many networks, actors, and crews as multiple TV series at FOX, CBS, NBC and ABC were axed ahead of upfronts next week.

Last Thursday, the CBS show was renewed for a fourth season. CBS renewed six other dramas for additional seasons, including Hawaii Five-O and Macgyver. As multiple outlets have pointed out, the renewal of Bull hasn’t come without controversy. Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Television pulled out of the legal series in the wake of sexual harassment allegations against the show’s star, Michael Weatherly. Earlier this year, harassment allegations came out against Weatherly by co-star Eliza Dushku. The statements resulted in a $9.5 million settlement between Duskhu and CBS. Deadline writes, “Spielberg and his wife Kate Capshaw have been major supporters of the Time’s Up movement from the start, and I hear Spielberg, who had met with Dushku, didn’t want to be associated with the series any longer. That is a bold move since a long-running CBS procedural is considered one of the most lucrative propositions in the TV business, often associated with a financial windfall for producers.” In her allegations against Weatherly, Duskhu said she was sexually harassed by the actor, who made “lewd comments” to her during her time on the show. She went on to describe the atmosphere on the set of Bull as “toxic”. In a Boston Globe op-ed written by the actress, herself, she details the alleged harassment, writing, “Weatherly harassed me from early on. The tapes show his offer to take me to his “rape van, filled with all sorts of lubricants and long phallic things.” There was also his constant name-calling; playing provocative songs (like “Barracuda”) on his iPhone when I approached my set marks; and his remark about having a threesome…” In response to her claims, Weatherly admitted that he was responsible for behavior that was “both not funny and not appropriate,” adding, “I am sorry and regret the pain this caused Eliza.” In a statement emailed to The New York Times, Weatherly wrote, “When Eliza told me that she wasn’t comfortable with my language and attempt at humor, I was mortified to have offended her and immediately apologized. After reflecting on this further, I better understand that what I said was both not funny and not appropriate and I am sorry and regret the pain this caused Eliza.” Speilberg, as his fans are aware, is a big donor to the Time’s Up Movement. Be sure to tune into the season finale of Bull on CBS tonight at 10pm ET/PT.
