As a dedicated fan of Harry Bosch and Bosch: Legacy, I can’t help but feel a mix of emotions as we approach the final season. The recent acknowledgment by Michael Connelly about the Save Bosch: Legacy petition has given us fans a glimmer of hope that our beloved series might just get another chance.

Fans of Bosch: Legacy are gearing up to say a sudden goodbye to Harry Bosch’s standalone tales once the third and final season concludes in March 2025. After the cancellation, a petition titled “Save Bosch: Legacy” has been initiated on change.org, garnering close to 4000 signatures so far. These efforts have not gone unnoticed, as the author of the books and show’s executive producer, Michael Connelly, has acknowledged the fans’ dedication. This recognition may bolster the campaign to Save Bosch: Legacy in the future.

In a recent interview, Connelly expressed approval towards fans who are fighting for Bosch: Legacy’s continuation. Yet, he also provided comfort to these fans, stating that Harry Bosch still has more tales to tell, specifically through the upcoming spin-off series centered around Renee Ballard. Nevertheless, some fans remain skeptical about guest appearances in Ballard being sufficient going forward. Instead, they are pushing for the creative team to get a suitable chance to bring the storyline to a fitting conclusion.

The Fact That Michael Connelly Mentioned The Bosch: Legacy Petition Gives It A Massive Boost

Michael Connelly is at present traveling across the U.S., publicizing his latest Harry Bosch/Renee Ballard book titled “The Waiting“. In a recent chat with The Irish Star, he discussed the conclusion of “Bosch: Legacy”, which was abruptly ended when Amazon decided to cancel the show. When asked about the passionate fan-driven campaign aimed at providing a fitting finale for the series, Connelly mentioned the petition to rescue “Bosch: Legacy” as:

Very flattering.

The team responsible for the Save Bosch: Legacy campaign received a significant motivation from those two words, which seemed almost like approval. In essence, Connelly didn’t discourage the fans in their pursuit of keeping Bosch on Prime Video. Despite the conclusion of Bosch: Legacy, Connelly has maintained a respectful tone in his response to its end, acknowledging the impressive run Harry Bosch had on the streaming platform.

It’s very hard for me to argue with having 10 seasons of Bosch.

Despite the successful journey of ‘Bosch’ and ‘Bosch: Legacy’, it wouldn’t be unexpected if there was a hint of dissatisfaction among author Michael Connelly and the creative team, as they weren’t granted the opportunity to conclude the series satisfactorily. In an interview with The Irish Star, Connelly expressed this sentiment.

We hadn’t planned on continuing with Bosch: Legacy until we had already started working on Ballard.

Fans understand that the conclusion of “Bosch: Legacy” wasn’t a creative choice, as Titus Welliver revealed in an interview on The Sackhoff Show on YouTube that he hoped to reprise his role as Harry Bosch for a fourth season. Moreover, it was disclosed in this recent interview that the team working on “Bosch: Legacy” were informed about its termination only after they had completed filming for season 3. Given Connelly’s ongoing collaboration with Amazon in producing “Ballard,” it seems likely that he was constrained by his statement announcing the end of “Bosch: Legacy.

The Save Bosch: Legacy Petition Will Keep Going Until It Achieves Its Goal

Fan-led campaigns have proven effective in the past, influencing executives to produce more seasons, spin-offs, and films of popular series. For instance, the fervor of fans helped persuade Amazon to greenlight Bosch: Legacy in 2022 following the end of the original Bosch series in 2021. However, Bosch: Legacy requires both fan support and Hollywood backing to survive. The film industry is currently experiencing a lull due to strikes, with few productions happening in Los Angeles. If a well-liked show like Bosch: Legacy faces cancellation, one can only imagine what other excellent shows might be at risk.

Supporters of the popular Netflix series, “Daredevil”, started a crusade to keep the show alive when it concluded after just three seasons in 2018. This persistent effort spanning seven years and gathering over 400,000 signatures eventually bore fruit, as “Daredevil: Born Again” is set to premiere on Disney+ in March 2025. Coincidentally, this will be around the same time that the final season of another hit show, “Bosch: Legacy”, debuts. The Daredevil campaign left no stone unturned, using billboards in Times Square, a dedicated website, and even garnering support from cast members such as Charlie Cox and Vincent D’Onofrio. Now, the question arises, will Hollywood join forces with the fans to help save “Bosch: Legacy”, given its impressive success over the past decade? Fans are doing their part, but saving a show takes a collective effort.
