Does that mean they're renewing Gotham too, then?

Gotham might only get renewed if they can't recast Riggs in Lethal Weapon

[LoganAlpha30X33]

I don't think that they're going to recast Riggs, just use Scott as the new guy to replace Riggs...but I could be wrong...

Otherwise why get a new character that they'd then have to push if they were just going to recast Riggs...

[TheInvisibleMan]

here's the DHD writeup on it

With Wayans and Scott as new leading duo, Lethal Weapon has been renewed for a third season about 24 hours before Fox is slated to unveil its fall 2018 schedule to advertisers at its upfront presentation. There is no renewal decision yet on WBTV’s remaining series at Fox, Gotham, which is still being considered for next season.

In his first series regular role, Scott will play a new character who will be partnered with Wayans’ Murtaugh. The recent Season 2 finale of Lethal Weapon laid the groundwork for Crawford’s exit with a cliffhanger, in which (SPOILER ALERT) Crawford’s Riggs, already planning to move back to Texas with Molly and her son, was shot in the chest. There is chatter that Scott could play Riggs’ brother.

“Seann is a fantastic addition to this already amazing cast,” said Fox Entertainment president Michael Thorn. “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.”

So no more Gotham then.

Eh.

I thought it was more popular, though

as ive been reading, Lethal Weapon does better in the younger demographics and also with Black audiences

also cheaper to produce

[Deathstroke]

Can anyone remind me if Riggs had ANOTHER brother on the show because if Scott is supposed to play his brother, wasn't he the one that just shot him (and now apparently killed him)?

Sean William Scott is the one person who could get me to tune in to season 3.

[SUPERECWFAN1]

While I like Scott in some films from 2000's , this smacks of desperation and after numerous folks turned down the role they gave it to him. I think a lot of folks knew , the odds the show stays a hit is low since your replacing the other guy. Also if your WB and your other show is hinged on this one , jeeze its just a terrible way to handle it. That Disney sale can't happen soon enough.

[Qwerty]

Apparently the cw officially passed on Wayward Sisters but fans are hoping to convince them otherwise.

Wtf is wrong with them. The pilot was perfection. The fan base is established. They have a sixth night they need filling. Why would they not even consider giving it a half a season at the back half of the year or something.

In case people were wondering, Manifest is a "lost" type show with people landing on a plane after missing for 5 years. won't last.

New Amsterdam is another Medical Drama where dead Tom Keen goes to for "redemption".

I was kind of surprised about that as well. You would think they'd WANT to get a Supernatural spinoff off the ground and running for a year (or a few years) before Supernatural finally comes to an end.

Gotham has been renewed for a 13 episode final season. What I can never understand is- okay, they need to clear the fall schedule for the NFL. Football only lasts until February. Why not just push some of these shows to spring/summer instead? Also- and no offense to Sean William Scott- how often is it that a lead of a show is replaced and the show stays on the air for an extended period of time? They did it in MASH, I think. And they did it in Charmed. But I can't see Lethal Weapon lasting now.

Let alone that we are talking about Lethal Weapon. The idea that you could air that show minus...

- Riggs
- Murtaugh

makes zero sense.

Hopefully, it doesn't die a completely embarrassing death whenever it makes it back to the air.

Sean William Scott is the one person who could get me to tune in to season 3.

I've always loved him,I get his career went belly up because everything hes in seems to flop. Like besides a crowd funded sequel to a hockey movie Cop Out was the last thing I remember seeing him in.

Im interested to see Wayne's and William's comedic timing.
