Titus Welliver’s First Look Deal With Amazon Now Looks Like It Could Ultimately Be Good For Bosch: Legacy
Who knew a podcast about cars would play a huge part in giving Bosch: Legacy a chance of getting a proper ending? Well, that’s exactly what happened when Titus Welliver made an appearance on Spike’s Car Radio podcast a couple of weeks ago. Aside from the huge discussions about cars, there were a few sidebars focused on Bosch: Legacy‘s upcoming season, and Titus Welliver opened up about the fan backlash over Harry Bosch’s open ending:
The fans, while they are excited about this season. They’re also really p****d off. A massive movement through social media, petitions, and these public letters to the heads of Amazon.
This was music to the ears of the dedicated fans who set up the Save Bosch: Legacy petition, and it put to bed the fears of some who thought Titus Welliver’s new-look deal with Amazon might prevent him from speaking the truth. In fact, the details of this new deal are potentially very good news for fans who want a proper ending for Bosch: Legacy and not the one forced on it by Amazon. On the podcast, Welliver answered a question about the first-look deal:
I met with them (Amazon) yesterday, and it was kind of an understanding and learning the parameters of how that works. What are the expectations on both sides? I’ve got a lot of ideas and things, and, of course, I’m being hit from every angle by people who are friends who have great ideas and have IP and stuff.

Titus Welliver’s Ongoing Working Relationship With Amazon Could Lead To A Deal For A Bosch: Legacy Movie Or Shortened Final Season In The Future
Titus Welliver could have walked away from Amazon after they misled him over the future of the Bosch-verse back in September 2024. However, he chose to sign a first-look deal with them and that could actually be a good thing. Welliver’s pre-cancelation comments hinted at plans he had in mind for Harry Bosch in the future, and guest appearances in the Ballard spin-off weren’t really the direction he was hoping to take the character in. Overall, Welliver and Amazon’s working relationship has been a successful one. The former character actor has seen his career reach huge highs thanks to his portrayal of the ex-LAPD detective turned private investigator in Bosch and Bosch: Legacy over the last decade, so it’s understandable he’d want to continue working with Amazon. Even though Amazon canceled Bosch: Legacy, Welliver’s new deal with Amazon could one day see Harry Bosch get the ending he truly deserves. As Welliver stated on the podcast, he has lots of ideas, and surely one of those could be a Bosch: Legacy movie version or a shortened final season to wrap things up. Earlier in the podcast, he stated:
There’s an abundance of Harry Bosch stories to tell, and then, sadly, we were told they wouldn’t be going any further.
Of course, the next few projects with Amazon are probably going to be brand-new stories featuring Welliver in the lead role, which is an exciting prospect for fans. Having said that, the discussion of a proper ending for Harry Bosch is bound to come up in future negotiations with Amazon, and Welliver can point towards the huge backing of the fans who signed the petition, as proof that Michael Connelly’s crime universe should be expanded. It could ultimately be a very smart move for Titus Welliver to stay in cohoots with Amazon, as they hold the rights to the IP, and any future Harry Bosch stories will be financed by them.
