Summary
Bosch: Legacyseason 3 will be the end of Harry Bosch’s solo stories. It will be an abrupt end toPrime Video’s longest running show, but Bosch will continue to appear in a recurring role in the spin-off series,Ballard. The end ofBosch: Legacyhas been billed as a natural end to the series, but it’s very clear it was actually a cancelation. This is why fans have launched a petition to save the show and give the creative team a chance to end the story properly.One wayBosch: Legacycould end in a satisfying way would be to do a movie adaptation of it.
If aBosch: Legacymovie was to be made, it wouldn’t necessarily get a release in theaters, as Amazon tends to put their feature-length projects straight onto their streaming platform. However,a two-hourfinal send off forBosch: Legacywould be a perfect way to bow out, and a fitting tribute to the seriesthat put Amazon on the streaming map way back in 2014.

In an ideal world,Bosch: Legacywould run for at least four more seasons alongside the companion show,Ballard,withexciting crossover opportunities for both shows. However, fans need to be realistic due to Amazon’s attitude towards the Bosch-verse. The streamer clearly doesn’t see the value in expandingMichael Connelly’s television universe, and it has opted to end Harry Bosch’s main story abruptly afterBosch: Legacyseason 3. 98 episodes ofBoschandBosch: Legacycombined, and it still has a legion of devoted fans and high viewing figures. Television shows that don’t possess the same high level of storytelling capabilities asBosch: Legacyhave bowed out on their own terms, when the time is right.Surely there is enough money left in the pot to fund one last hurrah for Harry Bosch in a one-off movie.
Knock On Doors
The Save Bosch: Legacy Petition Needs The Fans
There are so many loose ends that need tying up, and this could be done if the creative team are given one more story to tell in feature-length form.Sure, Harry Bosch’s story won’t be fully over, as he’ll appear inBallard, but he’ll only be a side character in that show. And it’s not just Bosch’s story that needs to be considered: Honey Chandler and Maddie Bosch are co-leads inBosch: Legacyand their character arcs need to be completed as well. A feature length movie version would essentially be like two episodes, which would essentially bring the overall series to the magic number of 100.
Many Shows Have Been Given Feature Length Send-Offs, So This Is The Least Bosch: Legacy Deserves
There have been a lot of television shows that have faced the dreaded cancelation, only to berevived in the form of a feature-length movie version.Bosch: Legacydeserves the same treatment, and there’s every chance history could repeat itself, butit’ll probably need the fans to kick up a fussfor anything like this to happen.One of the most famous unjustified cancelations ever was Joss Whedon’s superb sci-fi action seriesFireflyback in 2002. The show was a fan favorite, but the network was hasty in canceling it after only 14 episodes. However, DVD sales were very strong, and it won critical acclaim, and Universal felt this was enough to justify a movie version calledSerenityin 2005. It was essentially a second season that was translated into two hours, but it worked to give it a proper ending.
Television Shows With Movie Versions
Bosch: Legacyhas arguably done enough to warrant a movie version even if it hadn’t been canceled.Alongside the originalBoschseries, it’s up there alongside one of the greatest television shows of all time, and a movie spin-off is usually inevitable after success on the small screen.Breaking BadandThe Sopranoswere given the respect to end on their own terms, and movie versions were still given the go ahead.Bosch: Legacy’s need for a movie version is more pressing than these two shows, because it hasn’t been given the opportunity to end properly.
