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.
