Charlie Sheen will likely settle out of his contract with his former Two and a Half Men bosses and Warner Bros. for $25 million and future syndication profits, the Los Angeles Times reported Monday.
Sheen's camp and the show were coming to the final details of a resolution, as the show's ninth season rolled out Monday.
After Sheen was fired from the show following his public fallout with executive producer/creator Chuck Lorre this past spring, he sued Warner Bros. for $100 million for wrongful termination.
Arbitration was ordered by a judge in the case, and a status report had been slated for December.
Sheen was the highest-paid actor in TV history, nailing down reportedly $1.2 million to $2 million per episode before the falling out with Lorre and the studio.
While Sheen was vocal about his anger at first -- he called Lorre a "turd" and former co-star Jon Cryer a "troll" -- he's calmed down considerably, disappearing from the limelight for a few months before recently re-emerging a seemingly-changed man, with no hard feelings toward the show.
