“Bosch: Legacy” concludes with its upcoming third season on Amazon Freevee and Prime Video.
Season 3 of the series is scheduled to debut in March 2025. Michael Connelly, whose Harry Bosch novels serve as the basis for the series, announced this on Friday via Instagram.
“It’s been a great run with this character so far,” Connelly wrote. “There’s that overused phrase ‘It takes a village,’ so I’ll just say, it takes a whole town, at the very least, to make a show like this. We’ve had the best people up and down the call sheet. Actors, writers, directors, producers and the entire crew tried to make something special, and they certainly succeeded. I am very proud of what we have done.”
Connelly then praised the series’ lead actor, Titus Welliver, who first began playing detective Harry Bosch in the original series in 2014. “He became the complete embodiment of Harry Bosch and that was the magic that fueled ten seasons. As the guy who writes the books, I can’t tell you how lucky I was when he signed on.

Thus ends the longest-running scripted series Amazon has had to date. ‘Bosch’ became the unsung hero of the e-commerce giant’s streaming ambitions, lasting seven seasons before ‘Bosch: Legacy’ debuted in 2022. The original show aired on Prime Video, while ‘Legacy’ had aired on Freevee until now, but the latter show will air on both platforms with Season 3.
“Bosch: Legacy” is produced by Fabel Entertainment. The series is produced by Connelly, Eric Overmyer, Tom Bernardo, Henrik Bastin, Pieter Jan Brugge and Welliver.
However, the Bosch verse does not end there. Amazon has already greenlit a spinoff series that will focus on cold case detective Renee Ballard, another character from Connelly’s novels. Maggie Q will star as Ballard.
“For ten years, ‘Bosch’ and ‘Bosch: Legacy’ have been two of our defining series for Prime Video, Freevee and Amazon MGM Studios. They are a testament to the enduring power of the storytelling universe Michael Connelly has built for fans,” said Vernon Sanders, head of television at Amazon MGM Studios. “We are proud of the impact these series have made, and we are excited that Michael, Titus, Henrik and the creative team have more compelling stories to tell in the ‘Bosch’ world with the final season of ‘Bosch: Legacy,’ our new Ballard series and more to come.”
“All great things come to an end, and great is exactly what ‘Bosch’ and ‘Bosch: Legacy’ have been,” Bastin added. “For the past decade-plus, it has been an absolute honor and privilege to serve as executive producer on these incredible shows. To have played even a small role in bringing Michael Connelly’s iconic characters to the screen, and to watch the formidable Titus Welliver bring Harry Bosch to life, will always be the highlight of my career. The Connelly universe lives on, and with Renée Ballard coming soon to Prime Video, I’m confident all fans of the ‘Bosch’ universe will be excited for what’s to come. To everyone who has played with us over the years – the amazing cast and the best crew in the business, the team at Fabel Entertainment – you are the ones who made this all possible. I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Amazon MGM Studios, who have been great partners over the years. We really appreciate the great run! And finally, Michael, thank you for your trust and friendship. I owe you.”
