Bosch (TV series)
Updated: 12/20/2025, 12:27:19 PM Wikipedia source
Bosch is an American police procedural television series produced by Amazon Studios and Fabrik Entertainment starring Titus Welliver as Los Angeles Police Department detective Harry Bosch. The show was developed for Amazon by Eric Overmyer, and the first season takes its inspiration from the Michael Connelly novels City of Bones (2002), Echo Park (2006), and The Concrete Blonde (1994). It was one of two drama pilots that Amazon streamed online in early 2014 (together with The After), and viewers offered their opinions on it before the studio decided whether to place a series order. The seventh and final season was released on June 25, 2021. Two spin-off sequel series have been announced. Bosch: Legacy, described by Welliver as "essentially Bosch season 8", premiered on May 6, 2022 on Amazon Freevee, and has been renewed for a second and third season, the former of which premiered on October 20, 2023. The second spinoff follows Detective Renée Ballard, whom Connelly introduced in the 2017 novel The Late Show.
