“Rosewood” fans will be disappointed to know that the show has been canceled after two seasons. Speaking of cancelations, Idris Elba’s casting call got shut down by police yesterday. Find out why inside…
If you’re a fan of “Rosewood,” today is not your day.
FOX has pulled the plug on “Rosewood” after two seasons, which means no more scenes of lead star Morris Chestnut showing off his “chestnuts.”
Morris took to his Instagram to share the news with his fans personally:
He 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”
“Rosewood” started off strong as the lead-in to “Empire,” but ratings began to drop after it was moved to Thursdays, and then to Fridays this season. Season 2 wrapped up with ratings going down over 50% in the key demo and nearly 40% in total viewers compared to season 1.
Speaking of shutting ish down...
Idris Elba hosted a casting call for people wanting work as paid extras. But police had to shut it down due to the overwhelming response!
The British hottie put up an Instagram post telling fans where to audition in London, and clearly everyone had time.
TONS of people showed up for the casting call yesterday. And it eventually became problematic.
Here's how it looked outside of the audition location:

Y'all were determined to meet Idris!
While the casting call was going on, Idris hopped on Instagram to try and stop more fans from coming out:
Soon after, London's Metropolitan Police had to step in and shut it all down! A spokesperson told BBC, "The planned event - an audition - has been cancelled by the organisers following discussion with police."
The police said no! Idris Elba's casing call was a no! Waited for 1.5hrs for nothing! #idriselbacasting#idriselbapic.twitter.com/5SnxcL15tE
