A FOX police procedural, Rosewood centers on charming Miami pathologist, Dr. Beaumont Rosewood, Jr. (Chestnut) and Detective Annalise Villa (Ortiz).

The season two, and now Rosewood TV series finale episode, “Blistering Heat & Brotherly Love,” first aired on Friday, April 28, 2017.

Morris Chestnut on the Rosewood Cancellation

 
Taking to Instagram, Chestnut wrote:

I am very grateful about the part that everyone took in Rosewood’s journey, because everyone was truly an integral part; the writers who crafted great story-lines, the actors who brought these stories to life, the production crew who sustained the show’s infrastructure, and the terrific fans who embraced this phenomenon and became just as much a part of Rosewood as anyone else.

FOX provided a platform for a show that made strides in diversity and the images it projected, as all-inclusive. We were able to peer into the lives of characters who displayed their hopes, dreams, courage and fears. Rosewood also helped reinforce a newer definition of Family, as a group of people who most care for and support one another.
The #Rosewood family, itself was an Extremely Special group of people who’ll be friends forever.

This is not only a part of the industry, it’s a part of life. When one door closes, two more can open… Thank you all for your continued #onelove and support. See you back on the screen, soon. Big and Small. #PEACE – MC

Jaina Lee Ortiz Says Goodbye to Rosewood

 
Ortiz also posted to Instagram, saying:

Today is a special day. Today I say goodbye to my very first show, Rosewood.

I say goodbye to Detective Annalise Villa. Damn, I’m gonna miss that woman.

To my partner in crime/the guy who mentored me and showed me the ropes on set. The beautiful Morris Chestnut, and when I say beautiful, I mean his HEART, his SOUL. He is the most selfless person I think I’ve ever met. Kind and gracious.

Our rock. Our captain.

5 days a week, 14 hours a day, he became one of my best-friends.

Love you, Morrisito.

The cast…you’re my family.

To all the hardworking crew and writers… you showed me what “movie magic” was really made out of. It’s created on the backs of your hard work.

Last but not least, this show and it’s incredible characters were created by Todd Harthan. This guy said yes when everyone else told me no, and it has changed my life forever. I adore you. 💙

Gotta give a shoutout to all the fans who have supported and loved us from day 1. The love you expressed via social media for the characters and the story is something we will cherish forever.

Love u all!

What do you think? Did you watch the first two seasons of Rosewood? Should FOX have cancelled or renewed this TV series for a third season?
