Fox has renewed freshman dramas Lucifer and Rosewood for second seasons, the network announced Thursday.

“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,” said David Madden, president of entertainment for the Fox Broadcasting Company.

“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,” Madden continued. “We look forward to two stand-out sophomore seasons from both series.”
