Titus Welliver in the Dark About Ballard Spin-Off: ‘Above My Pay Grade’

by

Summary

  • Titus Welliver is uncertain about the Ballard spin-off release date, stating it’s above his pay grade.
  • Welliver, despite his involvement with Ballard, he seemingly lacks knowledge of Ballard spin-off details.
  • Fans of Bosch: Legacy took action with a petition to save the show, garnering significant support.

As a devoted movie enthusiast, I’m still grappling with the conclusion of “Bosch: Legacy” following an exhilarating final season. The abrupt ending of Harry Bosch last year, due to Amazon’s cancellation, left me yearning for resolution. Now, it seems that the platform is shifting its focus towards the premiere of the Ballard spin-off. Titus Welliver will make three brief reappearances in this Ballard spin-off, but he isn’t deeply involved and remains unsure about its release date.

Amazon strategically unveiled the first teaser for the Ballard spin-off on the night before Bosch: Legacy’s last season, a move that might be seen as somewhat calculated by some viewers. Fans of Bosch: Legacy had to wait quite a while for a trailer for the final season, and the overall promotion of the show was rather low-key. A release date for Ballard is anticipated sometime this year.

Titus Welliver Isn’t Sure When The Ballard Spin-Off Is Actually Coming Out As It’s ‘Above His Pay Grade’

Titus Welliver has been keeping quite active, participating in a series of quick, 11-minute interviews to publicize the last two episodes of Bosch: Legacy. Throughout this promotional spree, the main star of Harry Bosch candidly addressed the cancellation of Bosch: Legacy, while maintaining a positive outlook on his professional partnership with Amazon. Despite being deceived about their transition strategy for Bosch: Legacy to pave way for the Ballard spin-off, he was inquired when the latter might be launched during a recent interview with The Direct.

As of now, there’s no confirmed release date, but I suspect it will be in 2025, although I can’t say for certain. I’m definitely looking forward to its arrival.

Fans are quite eager for the Ballard spin-off, and we can’t wait to find out when its first 10 episodes will be released. Welliver’s casual mention of ‘above my pay grade‘ might serve as a witty nod to Harry Bosch’s signature phrase, which he employs to signal his detachment from complex decisions within the LAPD. In another interview with Moviefone, Welliver has shared that he is not privy to Amazon’s business reasoning behind canceling Bosch: Legacy:

It turns out that information was unknown to us. While discussing plans for season 4, it became clear that certain details were beyond our understanding. In Harry’s words, “That’s beyond my level of knowledge.” We weren’t privy to all the complexities and motives involved.

Hey, just throwing this out there – have you ever thought about Titus Welliver reaching out to Amazon and asking why they decided to cancel Bosch: Legacy? I bet the fans would appreciate any insight on that.

Titus Welliver Doesn’t Seem To Know Much At All About The Ballard Spin-Off, And This Is Surprising

At first glance, it may seem that Titus Welliver isn’t well-versed with the upcoming “Ballard” spin-off, given his involvement in three episodes and post-cancellation agreement with Amazon for “Bosch: Legacy”. However, when questioned about potential appearances of other characters from “Bosch: Legacy” in the “Ballard” spin-off during an interview with Starry Constellation Magazine, Welliver remained cryptic.

I’m unsure about it since I wasn’t involved as a script reader for the Ballard show.

In an exclusive interview with Game Rant, Bosch: Legacy fan favorite, Troy Evans, stated:

I spent just a single day on the Ballard set, and they filmed us for only one scene. That was the extent of our involvement in the Ballard series during that particular season.

During the same interview with Moviefone, Welliver stated:

Troy Evans and I have known each other for probably 30 years and he and I are extremely close:

It’s quite possible that the topic of a Ballard spin-off hasn’t been discussed between Titus Welliver and Lance Reddick, given their close bond. However, since it’s not a closely guarded secret by Amazon, it’s out in the open for all to see. The fact that Amazon is focusing on the younger demographic with the Ballard spin-off implies they aren’t overly worried about revealing potential spoilers regarding popular characters like Crate and Barrel.

However, they really should be careful about such revelations. That being said, Titus Welliver has been quite supportive of the Bosch: Legacy petition, which is great news for both Bosch: Legacy and Ballard. In an interview with FabTV, Welliver expressed his backing for the Bosch: Legacy campaign.

There has been a petition. I know on Twitter, they’ve got something like 33,000 signatures.

For the record, the supporters started the “Save Bosch: Legacy” petition on change.org, not on Twitter (or whatever they call it these days). This was highlighted in a recent interview with The Today Show by the show’s lead actor, Welliver.

I always think of petitions as not related to something with showbusiness.

Well, it becomes showbusiness when it gets a lot of media attention.
