TV is firmly in its reboot, revival, and reunion era. Shows such as Frasier and Sex and the City have been revisited, with varying degrees of success. Some of these exploits, like the newsmaking Fresh Prince reunion, have added valuable perspective to the original show.

But with all the nostalgia floating around Hollywood, it’s surprising that HBO’s The Wire, a prescient, innovative chronicle of urban blight in America, told through intersecting characters in Baltimore, hasn’t had a large-scale reunion. In the 23 years since the show’s debut,...

Sons of Anarchy, which ran for seven seasons on FX, ranks as one of the all-time greatest basic cable shows ever. The series, about an outlaw motorcycle club from California's Central Valley, had amazing characters, truly evil villains, and engaging story arcs. Best of all, it went out on a high note before it grew irrelevant, like too many shows that overstayed their welcome.

While it was appropriate to end when it did, the Sons of Anarchy finale meant fans wouldn't get their weekly dose of Jax and the crew. Luckily, there are plenty of shows that bring a similar vibe for fans to check out or rediscover. There aren't a bunch of renegade biker shows out there, but there are some, and the theme of having the heroes be criminals is quite pervasive on television.

The intense character-driven crime and espionage series wraps up this week, but there’s plenty of other shows to watch next.

But once the dust settles on the sophomore season’s reckonings and revelations, the chase doesn’t have to end here. For more mystery and international thrills after Thursday’s finale, check out The Streamable’s recommendations for what to watch next!

Bosch Spinoff Featuring Jerry Edgar Canceled, Renée Ballard Series Moves Forward...

Amazon MGM Studios has canceled the upcoming J. Edgar spinoff in the Bosch universe. Initially set to be developed by Blue Bloods alum Larry Andries, the J. Edgar show would have followed Harry Bosch's former partner, Detective Jerry Edgar, as he moved to Little Haiti, Miami, for an undercover FBI mission. It was confirmed that Jamie Hector, who played Edgar in all seven seasons of Bosch, would lead the potential new series, and was one of two in the works for the franchise.

Now, just two years shy of when it was first announced, Deadline has brought word that the Hector-led new Bosch spinoff is no longer happening at Prime Video. The project was one of the two Bosch spinoffs that the studio planned on developing, with the other being the Maggie Q-led Detective Renee Ballard spinoff, which has been filming since late July 2024.

Amazon has pumped the brakes on two projects that would have brought TV characters back to our screens. One is a Bosch spinoff centering on J. Edgar (Jamie Hector); the other is a sequel to the ’80s sitcom Who’s the Boss? The Bosch spinoff isn’t moving forward at Amazon MGM Studios, and the Who’s the Boss? sequel isn’t proceeding at Amazon Freevee, according to Deadline. The first project first made headlines in February 2023, with the news that Amazon was developing two Bosch spinoffs, one focused on Detective Jerry Edgar and another focused on the then-unknown character Renée Ballard. Saeed Adyani/Amazon The J. Edgar series would have had the former partner of Harry Bosch (Titus Welliver) going undercover for an FBI mission in Miami’s Little Haiti neighborhood, adjusting to his new life in the gritty underbelly of a glamorous city while running away from his mysterious past.

A Bosch spinoff series that was planned at Amazon MGM Studios will no longer be moving forward. It was one of two spinoffs that was first announced in February 2023.

Per Deadline, Amazon MGM Studios has pulled the plug on an untitled Bosch spinoff series following Detective Jerry Edgar with Jamie Hector reprising the role. In the now-nixed series, J. Edgar would have been "tapped for an undercover FBI mission in Little Haiti, Miami. In this glamorous city, he is forced to balance his new life with the citys gritty underbelly, while being chased by his mysterious past."

It was reported this evening by Deadline that the Bosch follow-up which was set to star Jamie Hector as Jerry Edgar, Harry Bosch's (Titus Welliver) former partner will no longer be moving forward on Prime Video.

Bosch: Legacy is the sequel series of Bosch, the Prime Video TV series based on the LAPD detective created by author Michael Connelly. The original Bosch series followed Titus Welliver as Hieronymus "Harry" Bosch, a hardened, no-nonsense LAPD detective from the Hollywood Homicide division. Harry is a tough detective who usually follows his own rules. And even though some might question his methods and his distinct dislike for authority, Harry always finds the bad guy.

Bosch ended after seven seasons in 2021. But thanks to the popularity of the show and the critical acclaim Bosch received, a sequel series was quickly announced; Bosch: Legacy. Bosch: Legacy follows Harry after he resigns from the LAPD and becomes a private investigator. And besides Harry, Bosch: Legacy also follows Harry's daughter Maddie Bosch, as a rookie cop for the LAPD, and Honey Chandler, the controversial defense attorney who crossed paths multiple times with Harry in the original Bosch.

Titus Welliver believes there is a weird similarity between his roles in Bosch and Watchmen: Chapter I. Welliver has played many characters over his 34-year career, from Losts Man in Black to the Silas Adams in Deadwood, but in the last few years he has become best known for perfectly embodying Michael Connellys Hieronymus Harry Bosch in both Bosch and Bosch: Legacy. Now he is playing another different role, voicing the shady private eye Rorschach in the animated two-part movie, Watchmen: Chapter I.

Every season of the Bosch television series delivers consistent suspense commonly seen in the police procedural genre. Developed by Eric Overmyer for Amazon Studios, the series follows retired special forces officer Harry Bosch, played by Titus Welliver, who continues to serve his country as a Los Angeles Police Department homicide detective. Led by Welliver, the Bosch cast features talented actors, including Jamie Hector as Jerry Edgar, Madison Lintz as Maddie, Lance Reddick as Irvin Irving, and Mimi Rogers as Honey Chandler. Some of the stars are reprising their roles in the spin-off series.

Amazon is adding another actor to its expanding Bosch universe.

John Carroll Lynch has joined the third show in the franchise, centering on LAPD detective Renée Ballard (to be played by Maggie Q). The untitled series, which will stream on Prime Video, follows Ballard as she takes on running the department’s cold case division — an underfunded, all-volunteer unit with a huge case load. The character has appeared in several of Bosch author Michael Connelly’s novels.

Lynch (American Horror Story, Big Sky) will play Thomas Laffont, a retired former partner of Ballard’s who comes back to help her run the the department. He’s a kind, seasoned detective and crack interrogator.

The spinoff — one of two additional shows set in the same world as both Bosch and Bosch: Legacy — will be set up in the season three finale of the latter series, which is likely to premiere later this year.

Like any organized profession with a large clientele, police officers and law enforcers utilize abbreviated codes and easy-to-remember acronyms to communicate clearly and quickly. One of the most glaring TV examples includes the popular crime procedural Bosch and its spin-off Bosch: Legacy, the latter of which is poised to return to Freevee for a third season in late 2024. The original show follows Harry Bosch's skillful detective prowess and the latter focuses on Bosch's daughter Maddie climbing the ranks of the LAPD.

Both Bosch series incorporate specific police jargon and encoded lingo that tells them what dangers lie ahead and what crimes to look out for. In addition to the LAPD, several FBI acronyms are expressed on the show, written by crime reporter turned bestselling crime novelist Michael Connelly.

Bosch on Prime Video ran for seven seasons, longer than many shows, with near-perfect Rotten Tomatoes scores. The show gave Harry Bosch impactful character growth and relationships that audiences responded to. Both Bosch and its sequel Bosch: Legacy have impressed on Rotten Tomatoes in a way other TV shows haven't.

Crime dramas are some of the most popular shows on TV -- and the most critically reviewed. With new procedurals on television almost every season, competition is high and critics (not to mention viewers) have seen it all. Yet Prime Video's Bosch makes it all look easy. Based on the Harry Bosch novels from Michael Connelly, the original series ran for seven seasons between 2014 and 2021 before being succeeded by the sequel Bosch: Legacy in 2022.

In total, that's nine seasons of Harry Bosch investigating crimes in Los Angeles -- which is longer than many TV shows manage to last in the modern era.

Rebooting "The Wire" doesn't make sense in today's TV landscape, says Jamie Hector, who played Marlo Stanfield.

Considered one of television's greatest series of all time, HBO's The Wire is one of the few beloved properties to avoid being rebooted.

Edgar (Jamie Hector) - was able to track down her whereabouts after interrogating Dockweiler (David Denman), the mask-wearing rapist who had been terrorizing the city.

In an upcoming episode of Bosch: Legacy Season Two, private investigator Hieronymus “Harry” Bosch (Titus Welliver) asks a favor of a couple of colleagues from his days as an LAPD homicide detective. Their exchange is terse and extremely one-sided in favor of the self-righteous Bosch. As he walks away, Christina Vega (Jacqueline Obradors) mutters, “Same old Bosch.”

“Same old Bosch” might as well be the actual title of Bosch: Legacy, which is among the least spinoff-y of spinoffs ever made(*). It brings back the hero of Bosch as its main character.

For Harry Bosch (Titus Welliver), everybody counts or nobody counts. However, that mantra takes on a deeper meaning in Season 2 of Bosch: Legacy as the retired homicide detective turned private investigator is on a desperate search for his daughter Maddie (Madison Lintz). The budding LAPD police officer was taken from her apartment by a lucha-masked assailant during the cliffhanger from the Freevee series’ first season. Time is of the essence for Bosch, who enlists the help of attorney Honey “Money” Chandler (Mimi Rogers) and other familiar faces including his old partner Jerry Edgar (Jamie Hector). As Bosch fans know, this is just the tip of the iceberg of what’s to come. Here we gather intel from EPs Tom Bernardo and Henrik Bastin. They’ve been among those who have played an important role in developing the Bosch universe for streaming alongside the book series’ author Michael Connelly. This looks...
