Maybe Terry Crews can step in as the new Murtaugh, like the two Dicks that played Darren, or Barbara/Donna playing Miss Ellie, or Pamela Sue/Emma playing Fallon, or.......

I can't comment on Barbara/Donna as Miss Ellie as I never watched whatever show that was on. I'm guessing it was Dallas?
However, Dick York was far superior to Dick Sargent as Darren though Dick Sargent wasn't bad if taken entirely on his own merits, and Pamela Sue Martin was VASTLY superior (and looked about 30 years younger than) Emma Sams as Fallon.
Was just trying to make the point that it was possible for series's to survive after a bit of character recasting; didn't mean any commentary one way or another on either actor's portrayal of characters named in the example. I like Lethal Weapon, so hope that it can be positively evolved, and saved.
