Reports first came out in November that Eads was leaving the show after two and half seasons. According to The Hollywood Reporter, which first reported Eads’ departure, the actor stormed off the set in October after an unspecified “altercation” and had since voiced a desire to part ways with the show. His final episode was Feb. 1.
“MacGyver” stars Lucas Till as Angus “Mac” MacGyver, along with Sandrine Holt, Tristin Mays, Justin Hires and Meredith Eaton. The series, a reboot of the 1985 ABC series created by Lee David Zlotoff, was developed by Peter Lenkov.
