Summary
Fans are coming to terms with the end ofBosch: Legacyafter a thrilling final season.

The teaser trailer for theBallardspin-offconveniently dropped on the eve ofBosch: Legacy’s final season, in a very cynical move by Amazon.Bosch: Legacyfans had to wait ages for a trailer to drop for the final season, and the overall promotion of the show was lackluster. A release date forBallardis expected at some point this year.
Titus Welliver Isn’t Sure When The Ballard Spin-Off Is Actually Coming Out As It’s ‘Above His Pay Grade’
Titus Welliver has been busy doing a string of ‘speed dating’ style 11-minute interviews to promote the final twoepisodes ofBosch: Legacy. During the promotional tour, the Harry Bosch star was very honest aboutthe cancelation ofBosch: Legacy, while also speaking positively about his ongoing business relationship with Amazon, even though they misled him about the transition plan they had forBosch: Legacyto make way for theBallardspin-off.Welliver was asked if he knew when theBallardspin-off would be released in a recent interview withThe Direct:
I don’t know. No official air date has been announced, but I’m thinking it’s certainly going to come out in 2025, but that’s above my pay grade. I’m very excited for it to come out.
The fans are very excited abouttheBallardspin-off, and it’ll be interesting to see when the new 10-episode debut season drops. Welliver’s use of the phrase ‘above my pay grade’ could be a humorous play on Harry Bosch’s famous line, which he uses when he chooses not to get involved in the higher-up decisions in the LAPD.Welliver has also decided not to get involved in Amazon’s business decisions, and he admitted in another interview withMoviefonethat he has no idea why Amazon really canceledBosch: Legacy:
I did not know that. Nobody knew that. We were already talking about what we were going to do in season 4. So, as Harry would say, ‘That’s above my pay grade’. I don’t know all the different machinations or reasons.
Just an idea, don’t shout, but why doesn’t Titus Welliver ask Amazon why they canceledBosch: Legacy?The fans would love to know.

Titus Welliver Doesn’t Seem To Know Much At All About The Ballard Spin-Off, And This Is Surprising
On the surface, it looks like Titus Welliver doesn’t know much about theBallardspin-off, despite appearing in three episodes and signing afirst-look deal with Amazonafter the cancelation ofBosch: Legacy. In an interview withStarry Constellation Magazine, Welliver was asked if he knew if any of the other characters fromBosch: Legacywould be appearing in theBallardspin-off:
I don’t know if they are. I was not a producer on the Ballard show, so I wasn’t reading the scripts.
In an exclusive interview with Game Rant,Bosch: Legacyfan favorite, Troy Evans, stated:
I was only on theBallardset one day. They had us in for one scene. That’s all we had in theBallardseason.
During the same interview with Moviefone, Welliver stated:
Troy Evans and I have known each other for probably 30 years and he and I are extremely close:
Has the subject of theBallardspin-off not come up in conversation between Welliver and Evans then? After all, the legendary actors are extremely close. The information is out there in the public eye, so it’s not one of Amazon’s secrets that they don’t want revealing.Amazon’s push to cater to the younger demographic with theBallardspin-off suggests they aren’t too concerned about a spoiler about two beloved characters likeCrate and Barrel.They absolutely should be, but the mindset of this company is very clear. Let’s be fair, Titus Welliver has shown great support for theSaveBosch: Legacypetition, and that is a good thing forBosch: LegacyandBallard. In an interview withFabTV, Welliver stated:
There has been a petition. I know on Twitter, they’ve got something like 33,000 signatures.
To clarify, the fans launched the SaveBosch: Legacypetition on change.org, not Twitter, or X as it’s now known.In an interview withThe Today Show, Welliver stated:
I always think of petitions as not related to something with showbusiness.
Well, it becomes showbusiness when it gets a lot of media attention.
