\"Rosewood<\/a><\/p>\n

Meet the Beethoven of private pathologists\u2026 From executive producer Todd Harthan (\u201cPsych,\u201d \u201cDominion\u201d), ROSEWOOD is the story of DR. BEAUMONT ROSEWOOD, JR. (Morris Chestnut<\/strong>, \u201cNurse Jackie,\u201d \u201cThe Best Man\u201d franchise), the most brilliant private pathologist in Miami. Using his wildly sophisticated autopsy lab, he performs for-hire autopsies to uncover clues that the Miami PD can\u2019t see. His new partner-in-crime is Detective VILLA (Jaina Lee Ortiz<\/strong>, \u201cThe After\u201d), a Miami PD detective with attitude and demons to spare. While she\u2019s impressed by Rosewood\u2019s incredible abilities, his constant optimism is more annoying than it is infectious. But somehow, week-to-week, this unlikely tag team will solve many crimes together.<\/p>\n

Joining Rosewood in his practice are his sister and \u201ctoxicology queen,\u201d PIPPY (Gabrielle Dennis<\/strong>, \u201cThe Game\u201d); and DNA specialist TARA MILLY IZIKOFF aka TMI (Anna Konkle<\/strong>, \u201cMan Seeking Woman,\u201d \u201cBetas\u201d), who is Pippy\u2019s fianc\u00e9e. Plagued with his own set of medical ailments, Rosewood sees that every moment of life should be embraced and lived to the fullest. And those moments of victims\u2019 lives that will never be are what drive him the most.<\/p>\n

Chestnut was last seen opposite Sean Bean<\/strong> on TNT’s “Legends<\/strong>,” which was renewed for a 10-episode second season. On the big screen, he will appear in the upcoming thriller “The Perfect Guy<\/strong>,” with Sanaa Lathan<\/strong> and Michael Ealy<\/strong>, as well as the psychological thriller “When the Bough Breaks,”<\/strong> joining Regina Hall <\/strong>and newcomer Jaz Sinclair<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
