FOX has announced that their freshman series Lucifer and Rosewood have both been renewed for Season 2.
Lucifer, based on the Vertigo comic spun-off from Neil Gaiman's Sandman series, has been a success for FOX averaging 10.5 million viewers across platforms and is the fifth highest rated broadcast show among the 18-49 demographic. Rosewood is also in the top ten with 7.8 million average viewers across all platforms.
“We knew we had something special with Lucifer, from the engaging performances of Tom, Lauren and the rest of the charismatic cast, to Len Wiseman’s visually stunning look of the show and the amazing storytelling savvy of the Bruckheimer team,” says FOX President David Madden. “With Rosewood, creator Todd Harthan has put a fresh, playful spin on the procedural format, infusing it with wit and warmth, while Morris, Jaina and the show’s gifted supporting cast have turned in fantastic performances. We look forward to two stand-out sophomore seasons from both series.”
Lucifer follows the Devil (Tom Ellis) after he leaves Hell for Los Angeles and decides it would be fun to help a spunky police detective (Lauren German) solve crimes while mentioning that he's the Devil as much as possible.
Rosewood is about a slick, Miami medical examiner (Morris Chestnut) who also thinks it's fun to help a spunky police detective (Jaina Lee Ortiz) solve crimes while making puns.
New episodes for Lucifer and Rosewood air on Mondays and Wednesdays respectively, with Lucifer at 9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT and Rosewood at 8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT.
