Bosch: Legacy Will End With Season 3

It's been a real "good news, bad news" kind of week to be a fan of Prime Video spin-off series based on bestselling books. Just yesterday, we learned that Amazon's Jack Reacher adaptation Reacher is getting a new offshoot centred around Maria Sten's fan favourite character Frances Neagley (Yay!). Now today brings with it the sad news that the streamer's Bosch continuation, Bosch: Legacy, is being, well, boshed. As reported by Deadline, the Titus Welliver starring series will conclude its run with a third and final season this coming March.

A favourite of fans and critics alike, the original Bosch series — in which Welliver played the titular cop with an anti-authority streak — ran for seven seasons, adapting various plot strands from across author Michael Connelly's 24 source novels. Such was its popularity that, within a year of the main show ending, Legacy had already been commissioned and a first season released. The sequel series thus far has revolved around Harry Bosch post-retirement from the LAPD as he pursues a career in private investigation, also following the careers of attorney Honey "Money" Chandler (Mimi Rogers) and Bosch's rookie cop daughter Maddie (Madison Lintz).

“I am so proud of what we have accomplished with this show," said Bosch: Legacy EP and novelist Connelly in a statement. "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.”

As Connelly alludes to, the Boschverse will continue to grow with previously announced spin-offs centred around Detective Jerry Edgar and Renée Ballard well on their way already. And so whilst Bosch: Legacy will end next year, Bosch's legacy will live on forever. Or for two more series, at least. Huzzah!
