Amazon Studios has announced (via Deadline) that two new series in the Bosch universe are on the way. The planned spin-offs will revolve around Detective Jerry Edgar (played by Jamie Hector in the Bosch series) and Detective Renee Ballard, a character that hasn’t been seen in any of the episodes screened to date.
Bosch: Legacy, which screens on Freevee through the Amazon streaming service, had also previously been renewed for a second season.
The Jerry Edgar series logline is as follows: A police drama following Harry Bosch’s former partner, Detective Jerry Edgar, who is tapped for an undercover FBI mission in Little Haiti, Miami. In this glamourous city, he is forced to balance his new life with the gritty underbelly of the city, while being chased by his mysterious past.
Hector is reportedly in talks to reprise his role.
The other series revolving around Ballard is described as follows: Detective Renee Ballard is tasked with running the LAPD’s new cold case division. Beyond simply investigating unsolved crimes, Renee is dedicated to bringing credibility to the department and justice to the community. Having learned from retired ally and mentor Harry Bosch, Renee does things her way – solving cases in unconventional ways while navigating the politics of being a woman on the rise in the LAPD.
No timeline on these but we’ll keep you posted.
