Prime Video and Freevee have announced that ‘Bosch: Legacy’ is to end.
Titus Welliver stars in the show as former LAPD detective Harry Bosch.
The series’ final season will be on screens next year.

We recently learned that Prime Video has decided to wrap its Freevee ads-based service in with its main offerings (especially now that all of Prime Video carries commercials unless viewers pay an extra fee).

With that, we’re also now getting word that one of Freevee’s biggest shows is coming to an end.

“New crimes. New cases. Same Bosch.”

‘Bosch: Legacy,’ which continued the story of novelist Michael Connelly’s veteran LAPD detective Harry Bosch –– brought to life with winning grumpy power by Titus Welliver across seven seasons of original Prime Video series ‘Bosch,’ launched in 2022.

Its third season, due in March next year, will be its last.

‘Bosch: Legacy’ follows Bosch, the 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 a murder attempt; and Maddie Bosch (Madison Lintz), as she discovers the possibilities and challenges of being a rookie patrol cop on the streets of Los Angeles.

‘Bosch: Legacy’ Ends: The Producer and Studio Talk

Author and ‘Bosch: Legacy’ Season 2 executive producer Michael Connelly.

Here’s executive producer Connelly’s statement on the show:

“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.”

And this is what 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.”

Is this really the end of ‘Bosch’ on TV?

Of course not! As Connelly alludes, the next iteration, which will follow the character of Renée Ballard (played by Maggie Q), is due in 2025.

The untitled series follows Detective Ballard, who is tasked with running the LAPD’s new cold-case unit — 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 (Welliver), to navigate the dangers that threaten both her unit and her life.
