Bosch is getting ready for its big finish on Amazon Prime Video. Season six of the detective drama arrived last April, and production on the seventh and final season will end later this week. A premiere date for season seven has not yet been set.
Based on the books by Michael Connelly, the Prime Video series follows Harry Bosch, a detective for the LAPD in the Hollywood homicide division. Titus Welliver, Jamie Hector, Amy Aquino, Madison Lintz, and Lance Reddick star.
Connelly spoke about ending Bosch in an interview with The Tampa Bay Times. He said the following:
“I keep using the word ‘bittersweet.’ It’s like a family. The cast hasn’t changed. We still have about 85 percent of the original crew. Creatively, we’re going out at a good time. We knew it was going to be the last season, so we could write an ending. I feel like we made a story, a 68-hour story that will hold up over time. I’m proud, but it’s going to be a tough day.”
Could Bosch return someday? Connelly says, “Never say never.”
There’s also a possibility that the character of LAPD Detective Renée Ballard, a significant character in Connelly’s novels who hasn’t appeared in the Bosch TV series, could get her own show. The author said, “I’ve always said that. But I’m turning 65, and I don’t know how much longer I’ll be plugging away in Hollywood. It’s such a thrill to see these characters come to life on the screen. I used to be mercenary about Renée — she’s a valuable property. But we’ll see.”
Next up for Connelly is The Lincoln Lawyer – another series based on his work. Netflix has picked up the series, which was originally planned for CBS.
What do you think? Are you excited for the return of the Bosch TV show on Amazon? Are you going to be sad when the series ends?
One of the best cop shows ever….should continue for at least three more years…it’s that good.
Yes and yes!!!
What a brilliant series, I will be sad to see it go, hopefully a Micky Haller series will take shape and who knows maybe HB will be in the lineup?
My husband & I just came across this show in December and it was SO good we binged watched it, and then watch the series again a second time. Excellent show!!!
SO EXCITED for season 7….SO BUMMED it will be the last. This show could literally go on for years. Every actor is fantastic!!! Bravo BOSCH!!!
Sad news; I’ve totally enjoyed the ‘Bosch’ series, and looked forward to each new episode and season. Michael Connelly; thank you for Harry Bosch, and to Titus Welliver; thank you and the rest of the cast, for great entertainment in bringing Bosch to life. Bravo!
I waited for so long to see Bosch on the screen. It’s a shame to lose them. Great stories. Great cast. Great music. Amazing run. Looking forward to what will be a great conclusion.
I love the show much I’m so so sorry to see that it is coming to an end all the shows I always like always come to an end
One of the few really good series on the Boob Tube.
Very pleased to see that there will be a season seven. I thought season six was the end of the series, so to me, this final season is simply icing on the cake!
I love Bosch and hate the series is ending. I hope Amazon will revise the series in the future. It is o ne of the best I have seen .
It’s exciting Bosch is coming back, but yes: bittersweet because it’s coming to an end.
I guess I finally need to stay reading the book series now. I understand Titus Welliver actually narrates the ago books now.
So excited. This my favorite show if all times!
Bosch is the BEST. Wish it would be continued after season 7. Can’t wait for it to premiere.
I am a huge Michael Connelly fan and cannot seem to get enough of his books. I was extremely excited when Bosch became a series. It’s sad to see it come to an end but Amazon and Connelly have done an excellent job bringing Bosch to life.
At the risk of nitpicking, I’ll clarify a small detail that is incorrect. Bosch is a detective at Hollywood Division. Calling him a detective in the Homicide Division implies R&H, which is clearly not the case.
