FOX is desperate, but not that desperate

A CBS Radio (WPGC) report released earlier today revealed that FOX will be bringing Martin back for a new season, with Ashanti to play Gina, Martin Lawrence‘s wife. However, this is false. The report was based on a News Nerd–a popular satirical site–article that claimed Lawrence had reached an agreement with the network to shot new episodes of Martin alongside Ashanti. There wasn’t much news about any of the other cast members, but it was enough to get a rise out of the internet.
