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?
REALLY. GIVE ME A BREAK
I am so sorry to see Rosewood end. I loved the cast and the writting. Friday night is the time slot of doom for any show. I think theyre making a mistake by canceling this show.
Very disappointed. I looked forward to it on Wednesday before Empire and I looked forward to it on Friday. I hated the move because I didn’t think it would do as good on Friday because that’s a night when lots of people go out. I pray the best for the whole cast and crew
FOX ARE YOU INSANE THIS SHOW TOTALLY ROCKED. Can another network pick this up??? CW? NBC? CBS?? Come on don’t leave us die hard viewers hanging
I really enjoyed this show. The writing was superb and the cast is gifted. I found myself crying during quite a few episodes. This was more than a typical cop show. It was about family, adversity, health scares and positivity. This saddens me that shows with stereotypes and negativity are still on. #bringbackrosewood #Rosilla #Rosewooddontgo
The show was the best, clean,please bring Rosewood back
Great actors and storylines, of course you have to cancel this one, FOX. It wouldn’t make sense elsewise!!!
Omg totally love this show. It’s an amazing show. Was so looking forward to the new season. So disappointed and I really hope and pray another network pick it up.
Nooooooo! Worst news ever, love Rosewood especially as it filled the gap left by Rizzoli & Isles. Please reconsider bringing it back. Loved this show.
Hopefully some other network will pick up this amazing show! Come on producer/writers sell it to someone else the show must go on!!
Loved the show. Discovered it during the second season and played catch up on Netflix. I’m hoping maybe some other cable station or streaming service will pick it up.
Really!! Last episode last secene (season 2 ep. 22) I need to know what rosie says to villa?! It can’t be cancelled…. rosewood must have a season 3
That’s soooo cruel this show was awesome, damn ratings :/
Please bring it back. IT IS ONE THE BEST SHOWS EVER ON FOX
Cancelled? Seriosly? I can’t believe that.
I’m wrinting from Hungary, Europe. Rosewood is a perfect series. In Hungary this show was very succesful. I can’t understand why??????????????????
I’m very disappointed. 🙁
