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?
Please renew Rosewood the show has and excellent cast
Please keep this show on. Each episode gets better and better. I love how it’s serious drama but with a little humor. The chemistry is great. I look forward to watching this show every week. Though I love Rosie and Via’s closeness and chemistry, please don’t allow them to cross over to becoming intimate. Keep it as is, the unspoken love of two best friends.
I love this show. Please do not cancel it.
Keep this show. I really enjoy the show! Put him and Bill is together.

My family and I truly enjoy and look forward to watching Rosewood every week. The storyline is great and we love the chemistry of the characters on the show. So please don’t cancel this series.
I really enjoy this show. It’s one of maybe a hand-full of shows I actually look forward to watching on a weekly basis.
Please keep, I enjoy this program a bunch!
me and my wife watched season one and want it to continue as we are now huge fans please allow season two to run
I love this show!!!!!! I hate that it was moved from Wednesday nights it just flowed with Empire……
First time seeing show this Thursday. I like it.
I am watching the show where the guy wants to pay for his own autopsy. This show is horrible; I cannot believe the two disagreeing with who the other person is dating or liking. All shows eventually start getting too personal. Keep it the way it was; no jealousy.
I think this show is really nice. I look forward to seeing it on Wednesday’s. I think it is a keeper.
I love this show. Please keep it.
Please keep this show Rosewood do not cancel it it’s just as good a show as any it’s just as good as Empires just have a different meaning do not cancel Rosewood too much Prejudice going on
I love the show Rosewood. It is one of my favorite shows and I don’t have many. This show is awesome.
