CBS chairman Les Moonves said Tuesday that "Two and a Half Men" producers are working to retool the show after Charlie Sheen's infamous departure, according to a new report.

Warner Bros., the production company for the hit comedy, is "exploring different ideas on how to do the show," Moonves told reporters on an earnings call.

"We don't know what the resolution is right now. There are obviously a lot of moving pieces," he said, adding "we're sort of waiting on them."

In late April, media reports circulated that the show's creator, Chuck Lorre, was revamping the series to move forward without the disgraced star. Changes were said to include adding a new cast member and giving a bigger role to current co-star Jon Cryer.

News of the potential developments led Sheen to launch a tirade against Lorre, who he is also suing for wrongful termination.

"No one cares about your feeble show without me," Sheen wrote in a letter to Lorre, calling the producer a "chicken sh*t," "pathetic AA loser," "A-hole p*ssy loser," and "spineless rat."

The 45-year-old actor, who was booted from the show in March, also said his legal challenge against Lorre would bring the showbiz veteran to "a state of surrender" and predicted the revamped show would be a total failure.

"You've been warned. Reap the whirl-wind you cockroach, reap it," he wrote, adding "NO CHARLIE SHEEN. NO SHOW."
