Bosch: Legacy 'There's Talk' Of Exciting Development, Titus…

Summary

The cancelation of Bosch: Legacy was not a creative decision, but possibly due to budgetary restrictions influenced by the strikes.
Both fans and lead star Titus Welliver are advocating for a continuation of Bosch: Legacy, possibly in the form of a movie, and the actor admits 'there's talk'.
The Hollywood industry would benefit from a Bosch: Legacy continuation, and Amazon could appease the fans by providing a proper ending.

Bosch: Legacy has sadly come to an end after three seasons, with the final two episodes airing on April 17 on Prime Video. As Harry Bosch says, 'legacy matters', and the fans have taken matters into their own hands with the Save Bosch: Legacy petition, which has nearly 34,000 signatures. Fans are asking for a shortened season or movie to wrap things up, and lead star, Titus Welliver, recently revealed that there might be ongoing discussions about finishing Harry Bosch's story properly.

The end of Bosch: Legacy wasn't a creative decision, and this has been known for over six months now, despite many late arrivals to the party. The sheep have joined the flock, and the truth about the cancelation has gone viral. Titus Welliver spoke out about Bosch: Legacy's abrupt end throughout the promotional tour to push the final season, stepping all over Amazon's flowers. T he sun has set on the saga for now, but the passing of the baton to Ballard is premature, with another iteration of Bosch: Legacy possibly in the works.

Titus Welliver Has Revealed 'There's Talk' Of More Bosch: Legacy In The Future Even Though The Series Has Ended

Titus Welliver and the fans have one thing in common: they both want more Bosch: Legacy, and they will speak out in order to persuade Amazon to change their minds. The money truck murmurings are firmly in the past, as Titus Welliver's first-look deal with Amazon actually looks like a smart move in order to revive Harry Bosch one day. In a recent interview with moviefone, Welliver stated:

You never know. Hollywood is a strange and aerial place, right? There's talk. Since this season has come out, and it's the final season, clearly even on the poster and all the ads and everything. I have people coming up to me on the streets very vexed and not happy about it at all.

It's unclear exactly what 'talk' could mean, but Bosch: Legacy' s showrunners, Tom Bernardo and Eric Overmyer, were blindsided by the cancelation of Bosch: Legacy, and would like to end the story properly. The fans aren't demanding five more seasons, even though Bosch: Legacy could easily run for that long, and it's likely Bernardo and Overmyer are not asking for that either, as it would probably result in a big fat no from Amazon. However, a movie would be a better sell, with Jack Ryan recently getting the go-ahead for a feature-length version after the 'Final Season' aired a couple of years ago. Amazon likes to shape-shift their 'content' and rebrand it so they can cut costs, so this option could work well for them with Harry Bosch's next adventure.

The Hollywood Industry Would Benefit From A Bosch: Legacy Continuation And A Movie Might Be Something Amazon Might Agree To Do

Bosch: Legacy fan favorite, Troy Evans claimed Bosch became Bosch: Legacy so 'Amazon could sweep everyone out' and break contracts. A Bosch: Legacy movie version could cut costs in this way, and that could be the ultimate sell for Amazon. Having said that, post COVID-19, strikes and the Los Angeles fires, it would be nice if Amazon could put their arms around the industry and pay their creative talent properly, so they can feed their families, while also giving the fans a proper ending to Bosch: Legacy. How about that Amazon? Sound good? Stop tapping on the computer and coming up with 'pesky algorithms' to work out which shows should be canceled and join the world of common sense. Hollywood could become the next Detroit if productions keep moving away from the area, in search of better tax incentives. Detroit was known as the central hub of the auto industry for years, but it's now a shell of its former self. Hollywood experts have been warning about the precarious position of the once central hub of the movie industry for some time, and the streaming craze has arguably contributed to its downfall.

If companies like Amazon had paid fair residuals to actors and writers, they wouldn't have been forced to strike, and great shows like Bosch: Legacy might not have been canceled. Titus Welliver speculated that one of the 'myriad of reasons' for canceling Bosch: Legacy could be linked to budgetary restrictions, which are a direct result of the strikes. Michael Connelly's contract clause means Amazon couldn't shoot Bosch: Legacy outside of Los Angeles, which he openly admitted is something the streamer wouldn't agree to now. 'Budgetary restrictions' coupled with rising production costs in Los Angeles are a recipe for a cancelation. Not a justified recipe, but one that Amazon might have cooked up as an excuse, and they had the launch of the Ballard spin-off as a so-called passing of the baton to cover for this. This was all part of the plan all along, right? Wrong. Bosch: Legacy has a legion of dedicated fans, and it's arguably more popular than it's ever been. Amazon owes the fans and the cast and crew of Bosch: Legacy a proper explanation for the cancelation.
