Summary
- Titus Welliver's role in The Equalizer hints at future spin-off plans post-Bosch: Legacy end
- Fans fight to save Bosch: Legacy with petition as Welliver explores new acting opportunities
- Amazon's abrupt cancelation may lead to a potential revival of the show with continued fan support.
Bosch: Legacy's final season is heading to Prime Video in March 2025, and fans are preparing for an abrupt end to Harry Bosch's solo stories, thanks to Amazon's sudden cancelation of the spin-off series last year. Titus Welliver will continue to make guest appearances as Harry Bosch in the Ballard spin-off, but he's also just signed on to appear on the CBS show, The Equalizer.
Titus Welliver's guest role in The Equalizer is a set-up for a potential lead role in a spin-off, which suggests he is making plans for life after Bosch: Legacy. Fans are fighting hard to Save Bosch: Legacy with a petition on change.org, but it'll need more signatures to convince Amazon to renew the show.
Bosch: Legacy - Amazon Probably Axed The Jerry Edgar Spin-Off For This Reason
Amazon axed plans for a Jerry Edgar spin-off weeks after Bosch: Legacy was canceled, and the reason might be linked to Ballard's solo show.
Titus Welliver Is Set To Star In The Equalizer Series And This Could Suggest He's Making Plans For Life Without Harry Bosch
Titus Welliver had previously stated that he'd play Harry Bosch for as long as Amazon wanted him to, but the cancelation of Bosch: Legacy has put an end to the ex LAPD detectives' solo stories. Welliver's contract on Ballard is only for three episodes, so naturally, the seasoned actor has been looking for other roles. He'll play a former CIA operative called Hudson Reed in the fifth season of CBS's The Equalizer alongside Juani Feliz, who will play his daughter, Samantha.
Welliver and Feliz are then expected to be co-leads in a spin-off series focused on these characters. Despite a fan-led campaign to Save Bosch; Legacy, Amazon still haven't done a U-turn on their decision to end the show, so Welliver and the rest of the cast will be exploring their options. A lead role in a spin-off from an episodic network show isn't exactly a career step-up for Welliver, but Harry Bosch was always going to be a hard act to follow.

Things can change very quickly in the television world, with Bosch: Legacy's cancelation a perfect example of this. Harry Bosch was Amazon's golden boy, until they suddenly decided they didn't want to invest in his solo crime stories anymore, despite the huge popularity of the spin-off series. There are no guarantees that CBS will move ahead with The Equalizer spin-off series centered on Welliver's new character, and even if they do, it doesn't mean it'll end up being a long-running show.
Amazon could also have a change of heart, and realize that they had a good thing going with Bosch: Legacy and coax Titus Welliver back for another season. The fans can play a huge part in this, by continuing to sign the Save Bosch: Legacy petition to let Amazon know they want more Harry Bosch. Titus Welliver's pre-cancelation comments demonstrated how he saw the future of the Bosch-verse, and it was clearly not in line with Amazon's plan. The streamer were plotting the end of Bosch: Legacy a long time ago, with Renee Ballard replacing Harry Bosch as the head of the Bosch-verse.
