Titus Welliver Officially Confirms Bosch Return Plan
Titus Welliver has confirmed that there is an intention to bring his version of Harry Bosch back as the lead in a future solo project, although no firm plans have been announced. Those involved reportedly favour a standalone film, which could allow the character to return after Prime Video ended Bosch: Legacy.
Welliver played Bosch for seven seasons and three further seasons of Bosch: Legacy, and has since appeared in Ballard. He cited Prime Video’s Jack Ryan: Ghost War as evidence that a successful streaming series can continue through a feature-length film, while MGM+ is developing Bosch: Start of Watch, a prequel starring Cameron Monaghan. Welliver said fans want to see the original Bosch, and Michael Connelly’s novels still provide numerous stories for adaptation.
In short
- Titus Welliver wants to return as Harry Bosch in a standalone film.
- No Bosch movie has been officially announced.
- The franchise continues through Ballard and a planned prequel.
Explained simply
Harry Bosch is a Los Angeles detective created by crime writer Michael Connelly, whose novels follow his investigations and personal life. Titus Welliver played Bosch in the television series Bosch and its follow-up, Bosch: Legacy.
Bosch: Legacy ended on Prime Video, but the character’s stories continue in Connelly’s books and other screen projects. MGM+ is developing Bosch: Start of Watch, a prequel with Cameron Monaghan as a younger Bosch, while Welliver has also appeared in Ballard, a series based on another Connelly character.
A separate film could offer one way to continue Welliver’s version of Bosch beyond the series. Streaming shows have sometimes continued in feature films, though no firm plans for a Bosch film have been announced.
