Summary
Bosch: Legacy’s third and final season will debut on June 18, 2025, with the first four episodes airing at once. Amazon’s promotion forBosch: Legacy’supcoming third seasonhas been pretty shocking: Limited updates, no trailers, and the obvious one: they canceled the show before the new season had even aired. However,it feels like this recently announced release date forBosch: Legacywas chosen to avoid any suggestions they were usingReacherseason 3 to bury it in the schedules.
It could be argued that it doesn’t matter to Amazon howBosch: Legacyseason 3 performs because they are washing their hands of Harry Bosch.Previous seasons of the show were never treated this way, but things have clearly changed at Amazon, and they seem more interested in pushing shows likeReacherandCrossbecause they fit in with theiradvertising strategy.

Filming onBosch: Legacyseason 3 was completed a long time ago. In theory, it could have been released in the Fall of 2024, but it was probably delayed so it could act as a promotional tool for the upcomingBallardspin-off, which has only recently wrapped filming and is due out later this year.Bleedingcool.comreported last week that Harry Bosch’s final season was due to begin airing on July 23, 2025, and this has now been confirmed by Amazon.Bosch: Legacyseason 3’s release date is very interesting asReacherends its third season run on the very same day. It initially seemed likeReacher’srelease date was planned to killBosch: Legacy, with Lee Child’s adaptation set to land on February 20, and Michael Connelly’s ex LAPD detective turned PI’s final season initially set for sometime in March.Did Amazon change their planned release date forBosch: Legacy’s final season to avoid suggestions they were usingReacherto kill it off? Very likely.
Amazon might have also pushed for a late March release date forBosch: Legacy’s final season, so it’ll act as a direct lead in for theBallardspin-off due out later this year. The final episode ofBosch: Legacy’s third season will be a standalone story featuringBosch and Ballardinvestigating a joint case. It’ll be based onMichael Connelly’s bookDesert Star, which will also provide the basis forBallard’s debut season. Amazon will want to keep this particular storyline as close together as possible, to keep the audience invested in it.
