Summary
- Troy Evans openly criticized Amazon’s decision to cancel Bosch: Legacy, showing support for the fans.
- Multiple leaks in the production team hint at the real reasons behind Bosch: Legacy’s cancelation.
- Creative team members are reluctant to speak out against Amazon to protect their future careers.
Bosch: Legacy is coming back to television screens in just over a month for its third and final season. Amazon’s cancelation of Bosch: Legacy has become one of the strangest decisions in television history, with the spin-off series boasting high viewership and a legion of dedicated fans. The cast and crew initially kept quiet about the nature of Bosch: Legacy‘s abrupt ending. However, key cast member, Troy Evans, has now made his feelings known about Amazon’s decision.
Troy Evans played Detective Barrel Johnson in all seven seasons of the original Bosch series, and returned to the role in guest appearances in Bosch: Legacy, and he’ll also be back in the upcoming final season. Barrel is a fan-favorite character in the Bosch-verse, and he is well known for his outspoken behavior. It looks like the actor who plays him shares the same demeanor, based on his blunt response to Amazon’s cancelation of Bosch: Legacy.

Troy Evans Is Not Impressed With Amazon’s Decision To Cancel Bosch: Legacy And He Was More Than Willing To Speak About It To The Fans
Bosch: Legacy was canceled by Amazon back in September 2024, and soon after, a group of dedicated fans teamed up to launch a campaign to save the show on change.org. Over 25,000 signatures later and the fight continues to persuade Amazon to do a U-turn on their decision. One of the big problems the campaign has faced is the unwillingness of the cast and crew to speak out publicly in support of the Bosch: Legacy petition. As the final season fast approaches, things are changing. Mitzi Roberts recently contradicted the ‘fitting ending’ Amazon had been claiming Bosch: Legacy season 3 would be, and Troy Evans (a.k.a. Barrel Johnson) has now told fans on the Bosch Pit Facebook group what he really thinks about Amazon’s decision:
Evans was responding to a post discussing Amazon’s lack of promotion for Bosch: Legacy ahead of its final season. The legendary character actor isn’t the only member of the cast and crew who thinks this, but a lot of them don’t feel like they can speak out because Amazon is so powerful, and could end their careers if they go against the official narrative. No company or person should wield this kind of power. The cast and crew are responsible for the success of Bosch: Legacy, and if they aren’t happy with how things are going, they should feel free to express their opinions publicly without ramifications.

There Have Been Significant Leaks In Bosch: Legacy’s Production Team, But They Aren’t Willing To Go Public With The True Story Behind The Cancelation
Amazon has been dishonest about the real reasons for ending Bosch: Legacy ever since they announced it would conclude after the third season airs in March 2025. They will not admit to canceling the show for reasons only they truly know. Several members of the creative team have reached out with the true story about Bosch: Legacy‘s cancelation, but they wish to remain anonymous in order to protect their future careers in the industry. Let’s not forget, a lot of the cast and crew are also working on the Ballard spin-off, so it’ll be written into their contracts that they can’t speak out about the cancelation in public. Mitzi Roberts alluded to this when she addressed fans on the Bosch Pit Facebook group:
I can’t say much other than we’re all very bummed about the decision.
At a time when Hollywood was suffering from the after-effects of COVID-19 and the actors’ and writers’ strikes, Bosch: Legacy was one of the few productions still based in Los Angeles, so it is no surprise there was an uproar when it was canceled abruptly. Actors like Troy Evans are the heart and soul of the industry. He’s a recurring character actor who adds so much to Bosch: Legacy, and provides key support to the number one on the call sheet: Titus Welliver. These types of actors aren’t rich like the out-of-touch Hollywood A-listers, so Evans’ reaction to the cancelation is understandable. The fact that he was willing to engage with the Bosch: Legacy fans, and risk the wrath of Amazon by speaking out against them, is commendable.
