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?
Great show with a wonderful cast. I’ll miss it.
I love Bosch books, read them all. Got Prime just to watch Bosch. Didn’t disappoint! Sad to see them end.
Feeling sad to hear ending og BOSCH, definitely going to miss.
Brilliant books made into riveting film. The actors have become the characters I used to see in my head. So sad to hear it’s the end.
My husband & i are currently binge watching the Bosch series. Ive read all thè books & we are really enjoying the series
Wish you would reconsider. Bosch is without a doubt one of the best shows on television. Surely you can add some more shows from all the Bosch books that were written. And Titus is perfect for the lead. Not a pretty boy and a little imperfect,like the majority of us.
I loved the books and the series. I will definitely miss it.
Got Amazon just to watch Bosch. Amazon sucks other than that. Bosch season 7 should only be on reg tv
I will be sad a good series well done and entertaining
I am going to miss watching ,Bosch but I have all the Micheal Connolley books in the series for Bosch. They are so good.
I am a big fan of Bosch, growing up in the ’70’s with some classic Police shows ‘Hill Street Blues’, ‘Streets of San Francisco’. Bosch is a great show with a solid story line and interesting characters. Will miss the series when it ends.
I have read all of Michael Connelly books about Bosch and have loved seeing the characters come to life in the TV series.
I can’t wait for the 7th series but it won’t be enough!
My husband and I just got prime about four months ago. Bosch is one of the very first things we watched all six seasons of and we can’t wait for season 7. Very sad to hear that it’s the last season though.
I finally got Amazon and the first thing I did was watch Bosch. Currently it is probably one of the best shows on tv. I binged watch the first six seasons and am looking forward to the seventh.
Great cast and writing – we love watching these shows – they follow the books close enough, and we love spotting landmarks in the LA area.
