Titus Welliver was born to playHarry Bosch, and after playing the character inBoschandBosch: Legacyfor over a decade, he isn’t done yet. Unfortunately,Amazon appears to be finished with Harry Bosch despite high viewership and a huge fan basewho are keen to see more of Michael Connelly’s crime-solving ex-LAPD detective turned private eye. However,Titus Welliver hasn’t given up on trying to convince Amazon to giveBosch: Legacythe continuation it deserves: In a recent interview withThe Hollywood Reporter, he said:
I have a decade-long business and personal relationship with Amazon Studios from the early inception of them getting into the entertainment business. I have a first-look development deal with Amazon. My business relationship with them continues outside ofBosch. And, you never know in Hollywood. I would not be shocked if at some point there was a revisitation.
Titus Welliver’s first-look deal with Amazonincreases the possibility ofBosch: Legacymaking a dramatic return in the future.Amazon owns the rights toMichael Connelly’s Bosch-verse, so nothing goes forward without their approval, so Welliver is smart to continue his working relationship with them.Hollywood is unpredictable, and nothing is ever final.Jack Ryan’s fourth season was billed as ‘The Final Season’ but a movie version has just been announced. The same thing could very likely happen withBosch: Legacy, butthe fans need to keep voicing their opinions to convince Amazon to do a U-Turn.

Welliver stated:
We’d already been in conversations midway towards the end of the season talking about the next season and ideas, and we were getting very excited about the prospect of that.
The fans were also very excited for moreBosch: Legacybeyond the third season, as Amazon promised them this big expansion of Michael Connelly’s crime universe, withtheBallardand Jerry Edgar spin-offs, which were set to run alongside Harry Bosch’s solo stories. A potential fourth season would have seen Harry Bosch return as a volunteer in the San Fernando Police Department to investigate cold cases, just as he does in Michael Connelly’s book series. The SaveBosch: Legacycampaign has always pushed for a movie version to wrap things up, and this now looks like the most logical next step.
