Last May, Fox announced that they would not be renewing Clayne Crawford’s contract on Lethal Weapon after he had exhibited “a pattern of toxic behavior on the set,” according to EW. Crawford had starred on the series as Martin Riggs since the show’s premiere in 2016 and did issue an apology statement, but he was not reinstated. The series eventually cast Seann William Scott as his replacement.

Previous credits for Crawford include Rectify, NCIS: New Orleans, Tinker, Above Ground, While We Were, and A Walk to Remember. Are you excited to see Crawford back on TV? What do you think about Hulu’s Into the Dark series? Let us know!
