Harry Boschhelped launch Amazon’s streaming service, Prime Video, back in 2014, and for over a decade, the ratings and the fan base have continued to grow. In fact,Bosch: Legacyis more popular than it’s predecessor, and there are two very simple reasons for that: Harry Bosch is a badass, and his solo stories are just as entertaining as they ever were.Bosch: Legacytook its titular character away from the familiar setting of the LAPD’s Hollywood Division, and thrust him into the murky world of the private sector,and the fans loved every minute of it.
Amazon are promoting the end of Harry Bosch’s solo storiesasBoschandBosch: Legacycombined, in an attempt to get viewers to rewatch both shows in their entirety before the final season airs.If the fans do that, andBosch: Legacyseason 3is a huge success, and it surely will be based on the upwards trajectory of the show, then who knows what Amazon might do.The high viewing figures didn’t stopAmazon cancelingBosch: Legacy, but were they really expecting such a rabid response from the fan base?

Save Bosch: Legacy Key Points
If Amazon Does A Dramatic U-Turn And Brings Harry Bosch Back, It Will Probably Be Under A New Name
Adam Leipzig wasthe Hollywood producer who summed up why Bosch: Legacy was canceled, whenthe cast failed to speak out, and Amazon refused to reveal the real reasons behind their decision. On hisYouTube channel, Leipzig stated:
When a show is really successful, and it’s gone on multiple seasons, every season costs more. The writers cost more, the actors cost more, production costs more and, at a certain point, it just costs so much per episode, that the network just doesn’t want to pay the money anymore.
If Amazon does decide to bring Harry Bosch back, it probably won’t be calledBosch: Legacy.They will rebrand it as something else, to save money, similarly to what they did when the originalBoschseries ended, andLegacywas launched. Press the reset button, cut the cast size, and keep production costs to a minimum will be Amazon’s mantra.Michael Connelly’s contract clausedemanded that production onBoschandBosch: Legacyremained solely in the Los Angeles area, but he also conceded that Amazon would not agree to this now.
