FOX’s Wednesday night drama Rosewood had a very positive debut in the ratings when it debuted back in September. But, how is the TV series doing now? Cancel or keep it for season two?
Rosewood revolves around Dr. Beaumont Rosewood Jr. (Morris Chestnut), a calm, collected and incredibly charismatic, pathologist. He’s recruited by Miami’s homicide department and partnered with tough Detective Annalise Villa (Jaina Lee Ortiz). She’s annoyed by his constant optimism — until she discovers the reason. The rest of the cast includes Gabrielle Dennis, Anna Konkle, Domenick Lombardozzi, Maggie Elizabeth Jones, and Lorraine Toussaint.
Thanks in part to being paired with the very successful Empire TV show, the Rosewood series debuted to a 2.44 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 7.54 million viewers. It was a very positive start, especially when you look at the ratings for most of the other shows on the FOX network.
Unfortunately, the numbers dropped more than 17% in week two and the ratings fell again in weeks three and four. The fourth episode of Rosewood drew a 1.42 in the demo with 5.03 million. Episode five recovered a bit and generated a 1.56 in the demo with 5.27 million viewers.
FOX gave the new series a full season order in mid-October, bringing the season tally to 22 installments. If you look at the downward trend of the ratings alone, that move seemed a bit surprising but, again, much of the network’s other programming is struggling right now. None of FOX’s other new shows have caught on and are doing much worse in the ratings.
A second season renewal will likely depend on how well this series performs for the rest of the season — and what FOX’s new crop of pilots look like in the spring.
For now, it seems clear that FOX is committed to sticking with Rosewood through the rest of this season.
But, what do you think? Will you stick with the Rosewood series? Do you really like this show or is it just “good enough” for now? Cancel or keep it?
I hate the dr. Rosie hooked up with – I want her gone! Rosie is the DOG not Mike. I want Taye Diggs to come back for Villa. His smile could stop a train. Darn he is good looking!. Besides Rosie needs the competition.
Please keep the show my father has a very bad heart and this show keeps him relax and just after a few shows and how much he wants to live he stopped drinkin and smokin cause of this show so please keep it
Keep the show. It’s my favorite TV show.
Keep it! I like it…a lot!
Highly connected to Rosewood series. Always a high point of my week. Love the chemistry of all the characters. No one rules the show.
I love this show! The acting is great and the characters are believable. Keep this show instead of all the sex and violence of other shows
Great show,super chemistry,one of the best shows on tv
I love Rosewood a lot. The cast is great. Villa has a very raw tough little personality that is very sexy and Rosewoods witty banter just bashing her constantly is great. She’s a hard nut to crack but I don’t see how they can keep up the “will they, wont they” thing for more than a season or two. You want them to do it but then what? Its like they’ll always be into eachother I guess but if they do it the shows over. So I have no idea but I still love to tune in each week. KEEP… Read more »

I like the show, but can’t stand that really old premise of ‘will they or won’t they’ seriously, been done way too many times
Definitely a KEEPER. My sister and I both really love the show. He is not just gorgious and sexy he is funny. The rest of the cast is great too. There is a great chemistry between them. We both look forward to it every week. PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL.
I LOVE this show!!!!
Definitely a keeper. Rosewood is one of my favorite shows. I love this show showing a black man in a positive light. All of the roles in this series are paired perfect.
Love the show! Look forward to watch every Wednesday, I love Morris & Villa together great team
This is adective show with a great plot
For sure it IS a KEEPER! Why would anyone cancel a show in its first season? They all need time to get out there and be seen! One season is never enough and is certainly no fair to those who enjoy the storyline!
