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?
My family and I simply loved loved loved the show , we watched every episode and looked forward for the next, we were all feeling some type of way when they moved it to Friday , we were hoping the ratings wouldn’t go down but knew they would due to it being on a Friday , please please do whatever to get the show back on, it gave the viewers a combination of everything (Humor, Friendship, Love , Excitement, Suspence, Family, Sensuality)
Boooo!!!!! Why are they cancelling this show? I am hoping someone pick it up.
Why can’t you industry GUYS just continue making GREAT shows instead of listening to IDIOT ratings, that mean nothing to those who actually appreciate and watch quality TV, which is so hard to come by??? Just repeat what WORKED in Season One—-it’s not rocket science, you’ve got the fans, for crying out loud.
WHY?????? It was sooo Good
I can not believe this show is cancelled. Loved it /great story lines/great actors / great scenery !! You’re making a mistake. Always watched or taped !! SMH
Bad move …bring it back and move it Sunday or weekday …worth it
I can’t believe this show was cancelled!!! So dumb!! One of the best shows again, gone !
I want my show back
Rosewood was my favorite show. It was smart and funny, which is a rare combination. I loved how the characters were “family” and the sexual tension between Rosie and Villa-come on, does it get any better? I hope another network picks it up or Fox reconsiders and brings it back. Don’t make us beg!!!
I am very disappointed this show has been cancelled. We loved all the characters who made this show what it was. Please convince someone to put on a season 3, you left us in a bad part, yet hopeful that Rosie and Villa would finally realize they love each other. I liked the way the character of Rosie was portrayed with hjis medical issues. Would like more!
I am truly going to miss the show. The characters were great together and it served a true purpose. I will miss the show. I wish there was an opportunity to produce at least one more season and allow the characters to evolve fully into their destiny. Everybody wanted to see Beaumont and Analisa finally get married and find joy together.
Bring Rosewwod back!!!
It’s one of the only “feel good” shows around!
How can you not LOVE these characters/actors.
I REALLY REALLY LOVE THIS SHOW!!! WHY fox had to cancelle this show this show is perfect and Villa and Rosie is perfect to! I love em shouldn’t never cancelled it !!! . I LOVE ROSEWOOD ALLWAYS WILL ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This show was my favorite on tv right now. I really hope another network picks it up. It is a great show and the only Fox show I liked. Another network will gain millions of viewers with this show at the right time.
I don’t get it. This was my favorite show on tv. Goes to show how out of touch network executives are. They should have found a slot for this show to survive and thrive because anyone who would have watched it would have seen what a quality show it was.
Loved the show. I wish they could bring it back.
