Summary
Bosch: Legacywill air its third and final season in March 2025, but thanks to a group of dedicated fans, a petition was launched to save the show soon after Amazon abruptly canceled it. The petition smashed its initial target, and it continues to grow.The Titus Welliver Official Fan Group has been instrumental in promoting the SaveBosch: Legacymovement, and recently sent an open letter to Amazonto ask them to explain their reasons for canceling the show.
The letter passionately summed up exactlywhyBosch: Legacyshould be saved. However, in typical Amazon style, they haven’t responded, and continue their vow of silence when it comes to giving the fans a reason for canceling the show.It’s time Amazon actually listened to what the fans want, as the voices are getting louder, and they won’t stop.
The Fan Letter To Amazon Puts Across A Compelling Argument For Saving Bosch: Legacy
Patrick Schau is the man behind TheTitus Welliver Official Fan Group, and he’s been working hard over the last few months and knocking on doors, as Harry Bosch would say, in an attempt to SaveBosch: Legacy. The latest door he’s been knocking on is the head of Amazon Studios, Jennifer Salke, to ask whyBosch: Legacywas canceled, while also raising the case for saving the show. Schau states:
I’m trying to find out exactly why Amazon canceled Bosch: Legacy after the third season wrapped shooting, when the principal cast thought season 4 was scheduled to start shooting in January. There was a time, not long ago, when Amazon considered it their flagship show that was instrumental in getting its streaming service off the ground. During its time on Amazon, going on 10 seasons, it’s been consistently getting 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
Instead of virtue signaling like some so-called fans,Patrick Schau is actually directly asking Amazon the most important question. Why did they cancelBosch: Legacy?Titus Welliver’s pre-cancelation commentsrevealed that he was hoping to play Harry Bosch in future seasons ofBosch: Legacy, alongside hisguest spots inBallard, and Schau mentions this in his letter to Amazon:
I know the Renee Ballard spin-off starring Maggie Q and based on LAPD detective Mitzi Roberts was originally intended to run and coexist in tandem with Bosch: Legacy. However, that has now changed to Titus Welliver having 3 guest appearances on the spin-off. I read a recent interview that said’ “we’ll have Alan Ritchson, as long as he will play Jack Reacher…hopefully that’s for a really, really, really long time.” I wonder how that compares with Titus Welliver. He has expressed a willingness to play Harry Bosch for years to come. Welliver and his show have been a proven entity with your network, critics and fans alike, so why is Bosch not afforded the same benefits instead of being cut off in its prime?
Schau is right. Titus Welliver wants to keep playing Harry Bosch for years to come, and not just in a supporting role alongsideRenee Ballard.Amazon are usingReacherto killBosch: Legacy, but Alan Ritchson should get the streamer’s promise to have him play the character for as long as he wants in writing. After all, Amazon misledTitus Welliver on hisBallardcontract.
Save Bosch: Legacy Key Points
Amazon’s Bosch: Legacy Strategy Clearly Changed And The Fans Want To Know Why
The letter to Amazon was a proactive attempt at trying to find answers, but it also tries to find a solution toBosch: Legacy’s abrupt ending:
My question to you is: why did this strategy change, and what else can we as fans do to get Amazon Prime Video to change its mind about running both shows? Let Michael Connelly and the other writers and show-runners finish the series the way that it was intended. Even a movie like ‘Jack Ryan’ is getting would be preferable as opposed to just ending it.
