Move aside, haters! 'Lethal Weapon' season 3 premiere with Sean William Scott hits a high note

Overall, the premiere had 3.4 million views which is a much higher number than last season's finale featuring Clayne Crawford. 

In spite of what some fans had to say on Twitter about Fox's 'Lethal Weapon' last week, the third season of the buddy cop show is off to a great start! The all-new 'Lethal Weapon', scored a steep rise in ratings on Tuesday. It secured a 59% increase in the 18-49 demographic and upped its views from 0.8 million to 1.3 million. Overall, the premiere had 3.4 million views which is a much higher number than last season's finale featuring Clayne Crawford. 

The show has switched up the cop game this season by adding Seann William Scott to its star-studded cast and clearly, it's working for them. Seann plays the role of Detective Wesley Cole - an ex CIA agent who is trying to adjust to his new life in LA after a war stint in Syria. After Clayne's unfortunate (read messy) exit last season, American Pie's  Scott was brought in as a replacement.
