Key Takeaways
- Amazon canceled the Jerry Edgar spin-off despite assuring more Bosch related content was on the way.
- The future of the Bosch universe is uncertain as the Ballard series now acts as a standalone without Bosch: Legacy.
- The Ballard series may face cancelation due to poor universe building and corporate decisions.
As a dedicated fan of the Bosch universe, I can’t help but feel a pang of dismay upon hearing that Amazon seems to be distancing itself from the beloved series. Having spent countless hours immersed in the intricate plots and captivating characters, it feels like part of my life is coming to an end with the cancellation of Bosch: Legacy.
The last installment of “Bosch: Legacy” is set to premiere on Freevee, a channel available through Prime Video, in March 2025. However, there’s a growing movement among fans hoping to persuade Amazon to reconsider their decision to end such a popular series. Despite Amazon’s assertion that they didn’t actually cancel “Bosch: Legacy”, they’ve been using public relations jargon to try to make fans believe it was part of some master plan. In fact, the head of television for Amazon MGM Studios, Vernon Sanders, stated there would be “more to come” following the cancellation, but just a few weeks later, they announced the cancellation of another spin-off featuring Jerry Edgar as well.
The current development in the Bosch-verse is focusing solely on the Renee Ballard spin-off series, seemingly disregarding the foundations of the original Bosch universe. It appears that Amazon’s streaming service, once nurtured by Harry Bosch, is now asking him to move out and make occasional appearances in the Ballard series. If they continue their ‘content strategy’ based on questionable algorithms, there might not be any more stories for Ballard, potentially making her the next victim of Amazon’s cancelation culture, which could ultimately leave the Bosch universe in a precarious state.
The Jerry Edgar Spin-Off Was Axed After Amazon Announced There Was More To Come After Bosch: Legacy’s Cancelation
| Bosch: Legacy Season 3 | |
|---|---|
| Starring | Titus Welliver, Mimi Rogers, Madison Lintz, Chang, Denise G. Sanchez, Scott Klace, Gregory Scott Cummins, Troy Evans, Orla Brady, Michael Reilly Burke, Andrea Cortes, Dale Dickey, Mark Rolston, Anthony Gonzales, Tommy Martinez and Maggie Q |
| Based on the books by | Michael Connelly |
| Created by | Tom Bernardo, Michael Connelly, and Eric Ellis Overmyer |
In a nutshell, Vernon Sanders, who oversees Amazon’s content operations division, might not personally own or watch TV, although there could be one in his high-end office. Instead, he spends his time analyzing sales data for appliances like dishwashers during commercial breaks and making decisions about which shows to terminate. If Sanders and his team had watched Bosch and Bosch: Legacy, they would appreciate the growth of Michael Connelly’s intricate storyworld on TV over the past decade. Following the cancellation of Bosch: Legacy, he issued a statement that implied this recognition.
Over the past decade, ‘Bosch’ and ‘Bosch: Legacy’ have been two standout productions for Prime Video, Freevee, and Amazon MGM Studios, showcasing the lasting influence of Michael Connelly’s storytelling universe. We take great pride in the mark these series have left, and we eagerly anticipate more compelling narratives from Michael, Titus, Henrik, and their creative team as they continue to explore the ‘Bosch’ universe through the final season of ‘Bosch: Legacy’, our upcoming Ballard series, and future projects.
Amazon are so proud of Bosch: Legacy, they canceled it without allowing the creative team to end the story properly. They may as well end Bosch: Legacy season 3, with Harry Bosch and company chomping on onion rings at Musso and Frank’s, while a suspicious patron heads into the bathroom wearing a ‘I love Preston Borders’ t shirt, with a jazz version of Journey’s Don’t Stop Believin blaring out of the airwaves before abruptly cutting to black. There isn’t more to come, other than recurring appearances by Harry Bosch in Ballard. So, why is Vernon Sanders saying there is? Just weeks after Bosch: Legacy’s cancelation, Amazon axed the Jerry Edgar spin-off. Is Amazon trying to clear their plate of Bosch related shows, and hoping Ballard fails? This way, they can be done with it all, and replace it with dumb reality shows and NFL highlights.

Fans Are Excited About The Renee Ballard Series But They Have Been Tricked By Amazon Into Thinking It Would Be The Next Phase In The Expansion Of The Bosch-verse
Most fans are thrilled about the Renee Ballard series, yet they anticipated it as part of an expansive universe, sharing space with Bosch: Legacy and Jerry Edgar. However, the backlash towards the sudden conclusion of Bosch: Legacy doesn’t diminish the enthusiasm for Ballard; instead, it echoes support for her show, recognizing the effort put into making it exceptional. It seems illogical to pass the torch to Ballard as the central figure in the Bosch-verse without Bosch: Legacy serving as the foundation or lead series. Hasn’t there ever been a spin-off that introduces a new character at the cost of the original show’s continuity?
Knock on doors!
Amazon may not fully grasp the intricacies of constructing a universe, and if Ballard is canceled after one season, it likely won’t be due to the quality of the show. Instead, it might be due to some bureaucratic decisions supposedly based on business considerations. Bosch: Legacy features three main leads (alongside numerous impressive supporting characters), and Maddie Bosch and Honey Chandler’s narratives are equally significant as Harry Bosch’s tale. Since these characters won’t be regulars in Ballard, the conclusion of Bosch: Legacy essentially marks their farewell. They might make cameo appearances in Ballard, but they won’t receive the same depth of development as they did in Bosch: Legacy. It’s crucial to express these facts within the context of the universe so fans are well-informed about what transpires behind the scenes. The more vocal the opposition becomes, the stronger the movement grows, and the louder the voices become, making it increasingly challenging for doors to be closed.
