BOSCH: LEGACY Will Come To an End Following Season 3
Bosch: Legacy will finish its run on Prime Video and Amazon Freevee following its upcoming third season which is set to premiere in March.
I’ve gotta say, I’m bummed out by the news as I love this show, but the Bosch Universe will continue as the upcoming Untitled Ballard series is set to premiere on Prime Video and Amazon Freevee in the fall of 2025.
Vernon Sanders, Head of Television at Amazon MGM Studios, said in a statement: “For 10 years, Bosch and Bosch: Legacy have been two of our most defining series for Prime Video, Freevee and Amazon MGM Studios.
“They are a testament to the enduring power of the storytelling universe that Michael Connelly built for the fans. We are proud of the impact these series have made, and we are excited that Michael, Titus, Henrik and the creative team have more engaging stories to tell in the Bosch world with the final season of Bosch: Legacy, our new Ballard series and more to come.”
Executive producer Michael Connelly added: “I am so proud of what we have accomplished with this show. Ten years ago I asked Titus Welliver if he could stick with Harry Bosch for five seasons, and he said he could do it forever.
“Well, five became 10, and the character, thanks to Titus, will live forever in the hearts of viewers and in the streaming world as the detective who knows that everybody counts or nobody counts.
“The good news here is that we have not seen the last of Harry Bosch. As in the books, Bosch is part of the Renée Ballard world, and I can’t wait for the next chapter to open.”
Bosch: Legacy follows Harry Bosch, a retired homicide detective turned private investigator, as he embarks on the next chapter of his career; attorney Honey “Money” Chandler (Mimi Rogers), who struggles to maintain her faith in the justice system after surviving an attempted murder; and Maddie Bosch (Madison Lintz), as she discovers the possibilities and challenges of being a rookie patrol cop on the streets of Los Angeles.
The Renée Ballard series follows “Detective Renée Ballard (Maggie Q), who is tasked with running the LAPD’s new cold case division—a poorly funded, all-volunteer unit with the largest case load in the city.
“Ballard approaches these frozen-in-time cases with empathy and determination. When she uncovers a larger conspiracy during her investigations, she’ll lean on the assistance of her retired ally, Harry Bosch, to navigate the dangers that threaten both her unit and her life.”
This Renée Ballard character is said to be based on Det. Mitzi Roberts from the LAPD. This is one of two spinoff shows currently in development that is inspired by the novels written by Michael Connelly.
The other series is the Untitled J. Edgar project, which follows Harry Bosch’s former partner, Detective Jerry Edgar, who is tapped for an undercover FBI mission in Little Haiti, Miami.
Bosch: Legacy Season 3 is based on Connelly’s best-selling novels Desert Star and The Black Ice. “The murder investigation of Kurt Dockweiler brings dangerous secrets to light and threatens to ruin the lives of our three principal characters.
“The disappearance of a family haunts Harry Bosch and forces him to confront the limits of justice. In a hotly contested race, Honey ‘Money’ Chandler is poised to become the next District Attorney of Los Angeles. And Maddie Bosch gets entangled in a series of violent follow-home robberies.”
Who knows, maybe there will be another follow-up series that centers on Titus Welliver’s Harry Bosch at some point down the line.
