HOT FROM FOX…
FOX ORDERS FULL SEASON OF HIT DRAMA “ROSEWOOD”
Next All-New Episode, Featuring Guest Star Nicole Ari Parker,
Airs Wednesday, October 21, on FOX
FOX has ordered a full season of the hit drama ROSEWOOD, it was announced today by David Madden, President, Entertainment, FOX Broadcasting Company.
“ROSEWOOD has proven to be a real self-starter for us, which is a tremendous feat on this highly competitive night. Todd Harthan, Morris, Jaina, Lorraine and the entire cast and crew have done a fantastic job creating a gorgeous, sexy world that is the perfect complement to EMPIRE,” said Madden. “The upcoming episodes are so compelling as we build out the family dynamics, and with today’s order, we’re excited to explore the world of ROSEWOOD even further this season.”
In Nielsen’s most current ratings, ROSEWOOD is averaging a 2.2/8 among Adults 18-49 and 7.3 million viewers this fall. With all available data to date (including streaming on Hulu and FOX NOW), ROSEWOOD’s average audience for its first two telecasts grew to 9.1 million across platforms.
In the next all-new episode of ROSEWOOD, “Necrosis and New Beginnings,” airing Wednesday, Oct. 21 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX, Rosewood (Morris Chestnut) and Villa (Jaina Lee Ortiz) make it their mission to seek justice for a murder victim who was an ex-con with ties to a Little Haiti gang. Meanwhile, Villa struggles with passionate dreams she’s been having about Rosewood, forcing her to explore in her therapy sessions with Kat (guest star Nicole Ari Parker) why she’s having these romantic feelings for him. Things come to a head between Villa, Rosewood and Kat, which forces an unexpected turn in Rosewood’s relationships with both women.
Set against the vibrant backdrop of one of the world’s hottest cities – Miami – new medical procedural ROSEWOOD stars Morris Chestnut (“The Perfect Guy,” “Nurse Jackie,” “The Best Man” franchise) as Dr. Beaumont Rosewood, Jr., the city’s top private pathologist. Brilliant, cool with tons of charisma, Rosewood teams up with the tough-as-nails Detective Annalise Villa (Jaina Lee Ortiz, “The After”), to uncover clues no one else sees and help the Miami PD solve the city’s most challenging cases. The series also stars Lorraine Toussaint (“Orange is the New Black”), Gabrielle Dennis (“The Game”), Anna Konkle (“Man Seeking Woman,” “Betas”) and Domenick Lombardozzi (“The Wire”). It also was recently announced that actor Taye Diggs (“The Best Man Holiday”) will guest-star in a recurring role on ROSEWOOD, appearing in a multi-episode arc of the series. Diggs’ first appearance on ROSEWOOD is scheduled for November.
ROSEWOOD is from Temple Hill in association with 20th Century Fox Television. The series was created by Todd Harthan. The series is executive-produced by Harthan, Wyck Godfrey and Marty Bowen. Richard Shepard served as director and executive producer on the pilot.

my husband and myself love this new show . we agree the chemistry between rosewood and det. ortiz is great. also these two actors have incredible charisma.
I love this show, because the chemistry between Rosewood and Det. Ortiz is amazing TV. The writing for the scenes involving those two characters makes the show worth watching . Let’s hope it has a long “shelf life”…!
I’m so happy that Fox say to the run rosewood for a full season it’s an excellent show I love it my whole family loves it on my friends love it now it’s time for them to renew it for another season also been so happy that they decided to run the full season it is an excellent show and I love it I’m very happy four fox they decided to do it.
This show is well deserving of another season. I love the mix of personal challenges both lead characters have along with the intense chemistry that is sure to lead to something further. Then there is the murder mystery component that ties it all together. Finally, seeing people of color operating in a intellectual role is so inviting. Especially for those of us that refuse to be entertained by the awful images that are fed to us by shows such as Empire and Scandal, where women of color are seen as a joke. Fox keep Rosewood and get rid of Empire.
Please keep Rosewood on for at least another season. I would to see how the characters develope. I enjoy the banter between Rosewood and Villa. Please renew series.
You have got to keep Rosewood because it is exciting and intriguing to watch the show. The plot and mystery is well written and worthy of a full season plus more. What other show feature an intelligent and investigating pathologist solving crimes. Seem real life or real life we will love to see. Keep it…
Love this show and it time to renew for another season not just full season this year witch is great also.
I absolutely LOVE this show!! Please keep the momentum going!! I absolutely think it’s GREAT!!
