Summary
The SaveBosch: Legacypetition has over 20,000 signatures four months after Amazon canceled the show. The truth has been exposed about what really happened in the lead up toBosch: Legacy’s axing ahead of its third season, butthe campaign has been hampered by the silence of the cast.
Michael Connelly acknowledged the petition, and admitted he was ‘very flattered’ by the support of the fans, but aside from that, the petition has been lacking any meaningful involvement from the cast of the crime spin-off show. This is by no means an attack on them, as there are a lot of issues at play here: theBallardspin-off still employs a lot of the same team, so they are really hamstrung in what they can say. However,as the third and final season ofBosch: Legacyapproaches its air date, it would be beneficial to get some involvement from the cast.

However,there’s a big giant elephant in the room: the cast and crew haven’t endorsed the petition.Michael Connelly acknowledged the petition during an interview withThe Irish Starback in October 2024, but due to his ongoing involvement with Amazon ontheBallardspin-off, it was clear he was hamstrung with how far he could go with his support.

Over 10,000 signatures was enough to convince Amazon to launch the spin-off,Bosch: Legacy, in 2022. Crucially, this petition was supported by the cast, who had plenty more stories they wanted to tell. WhenAmazon canceledBosch: Legacy, the fans stepped in again, but despite garnering twice as many signatures on this petition, Amazon haven’t changed their minds yet.If the cast ofBosch: Legacystep up and support this petition, it would undoubtedly lead to more signatures and a better chance of another season.The stars behind the show are the ones with huge followings on social media, and fans listen to them.
