We won’t fault you if you didn’t know much about Fox’s Lethal Weapon reboot until it became an unlikely source of headline news earlier this year — we’re living in an era of Peak TV, and people can only handle so many network procedurals about a ragtag police duo on any given day! Still, this was a unique case of a decently rated and watched series imploding at an alarmingly quick rate thanks to internal turmoil, which began with the dismissal of lead Clayne Crawford in the spring and culminated months later with fellow lead Damon Wayans saying he’s, quite literally, too old for this (thespian) **** and quitting.
As the future of Lethal Weapon seems to be currently hanging in small-screen purgatory, let’s take a timeline journey to see how exactly we got to this point.
