Summary
- The final season of Bosch: Legacy starts with the first four episodes, with fans hyped after an 18-month wait.
- A time jump in the final season may provide a fresh narrative approach post-cliffhanger.
- The Time jump could explore Maddie’s trauma and Honey Chandler’s DA campaign in a deeper manner.
Bosch: Legacy‘s final season kicks off this week, with the first four episodes dropping all at once. Excitement among fans is reaching fever pitch, after nearly 18 long months since the previous season aired. The second season of Bosch: Legacy famously ended with a huge cliffhanger, when Maddie Bosch intercepted a call from her father’s arch enemy, Preston Borders, but the final season will pick up sometime after that.
In a recent interview with Game Rant, Madison Lintz revealed that the upcoming final season will have a time jump, which had some fans raising the alarm. However, after over a decade of top-notch Harry Bosch stories, there is no reason to worry about this passage of time, as the creative team have a great track record of getting things right.

Fans were shocked to learn that the cliffhanger wouldn’t be followed up directly in the opening moments of Bosch: Legacy season 3, but Madison Lintz teased how this time jump might actually work:
It doesn’t pick up directly from that point, but you will get some context as to what happened after that moment, as well as how that has colored things since then. Maddie and Bosch’s relationship is an interesting one. They dance around the emotional stuff as much as they can, but sometimes it’s not always possible. The bottom line is, they only have each other in this world, and they know it. Sometimes it just takes some time to work through things the “Bosch” way.
Bosch: Legacy‘s creative team know how to stick the landing, and they’ve proven it on many occasions over the course of ten-plus years. Michael Connelly’s book series has given Bosch and Bosch: Legacy showrunners, Eric Overmyer and Tom Bernardo, a treasure trove of storylines to choose from, and they know how to lay the breadcrumbs for future plot points. The decision not to pick up directly from that tense cliffhanger at the end of Bosch: Legacy season 2 in the upcoming final season might appear strange on the surface, but there is probably a good reason for it. Fans might be initially disappointed not to see those key moments after Maddie’s collect call with Preston Borders play out on screen, but a time jump isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

The Time Jump Could Help Move The Story Forward To A More Interesting Point To Reflect Maddie’s Ongoing Trauma and Honey Chandler’s Campaign For DA
After the dramatic events of the Lexi Parks murder case, and the death of Maddie’s kidnapper, Kurt Dockweiler, and the subsequent re-appearance of Preston Borders, many fans expected Bosch: Legacy season 3 to pick up moments after the second season ended. However, the confirmed time jump will actually help to move the narrative forward, and pick up with the characters in a slightly different place. Maddie’s trauma was key to Bosch: Legacy season 2’s storyline, but everything was still so fresh after the incident, meaning a time jump could actually explore the long-term affects of her ordeal. In addition to this, Honey Chandler announced she was running for District Attorney in the final episode of the second season, so it makes more sense for the story to catch up with her a while later when she’s deep into the campaign.
The big question at the end of Bosch: Legacy season 2 was whether Harry Bosch would work with Preston Borders to exact the hit on Kurt Dockweiler, and fans have waited nearly 18 months for the answer. Due to this long wait, the time jump won’t actually be that jarring, and might actually work well. Preston Borders will be in the exact place he was when the action picks up: serving a life sentence in Wasco St Prison, so a time jump isn’t going to do anything to affect this key storyline, and there is bound to be some exposition and context to explain what happened after that cliffhanger moment. One thing is for sure: it’s going to be one hell of a ride.
