The promotional activities for Bosch: Legacy kept Welliver in the spotlight, especially as fans were eager to delve deeper into Harry Bosch’s concluding investigation. There remains a palpable hope for a continuation, despite Amazon’s cancellation announcement that came in September 2024. During his appearance on The Today Show, Welliver addressed the Save Bosch: Legacy petition directly when prompted by host Al Roker:
“I, along with countless fans, were really upset upon hearing that this was allegedly the final season of Bosch: Legacy. There’s an online petition about it, and unlike many actors who distance themselves from such causes, you’re fully supportive because you want to see this character continue.”
Since its inception following the show’s cancellation, the Save Bosch: Legacy petition gained significant traction, especially with Welliver endorsing it on Spike’s Car Radio podcast. Welliver further articulated his gratitude for the supportive fanbase during his inaugural visit to The Today Show:
“The fans and the outpouring of goodwill towards the show have been incredible. It feels like there’s a sense of ownership among them; they believe it’s their show, and they want to dictate its future. I truly appreciate this sentiment, as do the rest of us involved in the project.”
Indeed, Welliver is correct; fans have embraced the series as their own, effectively launching a campaign to ensure a proper resolution to Harry Bosch’s narrative. Initially, it seemed as though Amazon had been sidelining Bosch: Legacy in favor of promoting a spin-off series featuring character Ballard, further intensifying the urgency behind the petition and disrupting Amazon’s strategic plans.

Lack of Closure in Bosch: Legacy’s Final Season
Both Welliver and Connelly had envisioned a vibrant future for the Bosch universe, especially with the planned introduction of Ballard, which was to bring about extensions in the storyline. However, Amazon’s cancellation abruptly curtailed these ambitions. Reflecting on the show’s journey during his Today Show segment, Welliver remarked:
“Ten years is significant, but there’s still plenty of stories left for Harry and I.”
The prospects of a new season appeared promising, with Bosch expected to volunteer with the San Fernando police to tackle more thrilling cases, completing the arc of his character. In discussions regarding his satisfaction with the current ending of Bosch: Legacy’s final season, Welliver’s sentiments were notably mixed:
“It’s a bittersweet experience. Although it’s a strong season, the ending leaves much to be desired in terms of closure.”
Concluding the segment, Al Roker galvanized the audience with a familiar plea: Sign The Petition.
Welliver’s desire for more Harry Bosch stories is still alive, and it is up to the fans to bring that wish to fruition.
