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?
I can think of fifty story lines to keep it going. So few series I like and my favorite is done. I’ll never read his books or watch his shows again. Angry!!!!!
Titus Welliver is Harry Bosch
Bosch is the best plus great supporting characters looking forward to Lincoln Lawyer
Best Detective in Harry Bosch have read the books since the start,
Cannot wait for series7
I Really like the show and its contenting too real crime. well acted….will miss it, but looking forward to the final season !
Why is it that whenever I fall in love with a series, it ends at seven years? I’m not ready to say good bye to Harry and crew. This has been an awesome series. The writing and acting has been just great. Titus Welliver is Harry Bosch. They will be missed. Can;t wait for season seven to start.
Awesome series, love the cast, hate to see it go.
One of the first things I did after subscribing to Prime is binge-watch Bosch. I’ve been reading Michael’s books for years so it was a natural thing.
I hate the thought of no more Bosch
Top of the list of my favourite shows
I LOVE Bosch! It’ll be very sad when it ends.
This is one of my favorite shows. Well written & well acted by all.
Why must all the good shows be discontinued? Have read Michael Connelly books and just
could not stop reading until I finished it. One of the best authors!!!
I thoroughly enjoy the Bosch series and am truly going to miss it. Wish it could stay on forever!
My wife and I have enjoyed all 6 seasons and await season 7. I have listened to all the audio books in the Bosch series and am now working my way through Renee Ballard. Future will be the Lincoln Lawyer series. I hope Michael Connelly will continue with Renee Ballard TV series. I also think that Titus Welliver has done an excellent job portraying Bosch. Thank you all.
I’ve loved to see the story come on to the screen, especially the way that elements from several novels are mixed into a show. Everything has to end though sometime. I think Connelly is the best mystery author ever. (Titus should have grown a moustache though)
Love Bosch! Wish there were more. Can’t wait for Lincoln Lawyer.
