That’s especially true with Lethal Weapon, which almost didn’t see a Season 3 after actor Clayne Crawford’s removal.
Granted, Damon Wayans’ situation is far different than Crawford’s, and provided reports about a resolution being worked out are accurate, it should be a non-issue in the network’s future decision.
It’s still too early in Season 3 to say whether or not Lethal Weapon will get the go-ahead for Season 4, although live/same day ratings have been decent so far.
Ratings don’t mean everything, however, as drama with lead actors can be enough for networks to boot a series these days.
