Ahead of Bosch’s return for its upcoming sixth season later this year, Amazon Prime has officially renewed their long-running police procedural series for a seventh and final season. Based on Michael Connelly’s bestselling novel series, the Titus Welliver-led drama was one of Amazon’s first original drama series which debuted in 2014.
“I’m proud of what we have accomplished with Bosch and look forward to completing the story in Season 7. It’s bittersweet, but all good things come to an end, and I am happy that we will be able to go out the way we want to,” Connelly said (via Deadline).
“This started seven years ago with showrunner Eric Overmyer and me writing the pilot,” Connelly continued. “We plan to write the last episode together as well. We’ll leave behind the longest-running show so far on Amazon and it will be there to be discovered by new viewers for as long as people are streaming. That is amazing to me. The other thing is that we would not have come all this way without Titus Welliver. There could not have been a better actor to play this role or a better team player to build this show around. He’ll be Harry Bosch for the ages.”

The final season will be inspired by Conelly’s 1994 The Concrete Blonde novel and the 2014 The Burning Room novel which will follow Welliver’ Harry Bosch and Jamie Hector’s Jerry Edgar as their separately investigate two murder cases that will take them to the highest levels of white-collar crime and the deadly depths of the street-level drug trade.
