Release date & Where to Watch

Bosch: Legacy season three is anticipated to debut in March 2025 on Amazon Freevee and Prime Video.

Plot

While we don’t have an official synopsis for Bosch: Legacy season three, we can infer key plotlines from the season two finale. One of the major unresolved storylines is Maddie discovering that her father, Bosch, was behind the prison hit on her kidnapper, Dockweiler. This revelation has shaken their relationship, and it’s likely that season three will explore the fallout from this. 

Additionally, Honey Chandler’s campaign for District Attorney, announced in the season two finale, is expected to play a significant role, potentially following her journey into office or early days in the role.

Another key storyline likely to feature is Mo’s ongoing complications with FBI agent Jade (Jessica Camacho). Their complex relationship is sure to continue, raising questions about trust, loyalty, and romance as Mo tries to navigate this high-stakes situation. Meanwhile, Bosch is expected to take on a new case that could be central to the season's narrative, as the character always seems to find himself drawn into complex legal and moral dilemmas.

As Bosch: Legacy draws on Michael Connelly’s novels, the final season will revolve around the murder investigation of Kurt Dockweiler, which could bring dangerous secrets to light. Meanwhile, Bosch will confront the limits of justice as he wrestles with the disappearance of a family, and Maddie Bosch will become entangled in a series of violent follow-home robberies, adding another layer of danger to the plot.

Which Michael Connelly Novels Inspire Bosch: Legacy Season 3?

Bosch: Legacy season three draws inspiration from two of Michael Connelly's novels featuring Harry Bosch. The first is The Black Ice (1993), Connelly's second book in the Bosch series. This novel follows Bosch as he investigates the suspicious death of a narcotics officer, initially ruled a suicide, but Bosch believes otherwise. The story revolves around a fictional drug called black ice, which plays a key role in the mystery.

The second book is Desert Star (2022), where Bosch, now a private investigator, volunteers with the LAPD’s Open-Unsolved Unit to revisit a haunting cold case: the murder of an entire family. In Desert Star, Bosch teams up with Renée Ballard, another of Connelly's central characters.

Filming

Behind the Scenes

The crew of Bosch: Legacy season three will likely include many familiar faces who have been with the show since its inception. Created by Michael Connelly, Tom Bernardo, and Eric Overmyer, the Bosch spinoff series continues to thrive under their leadership. Connelly, the author behind the original book series, remains deeply involved, ensuring the authenticity of Harry Bosch's character. He will return as an executive producer for season 3 alongside Bernardo and Overmyer.

Many key crew members are expected to return, including director Patrick Cady and producer Jamie D. Boscardin. Jeff Russo, who composed the series' signature tense score, is also likely to continue his role.
