Bosch fans who were looking forward to Harry Bosch’s former partner, LAPD Detective Jerry Edgar, getting his own show will now be disappointed. 

According to TVLine, which reported the news on Oct. 4, the spinoff is no longer moving forward at Prime Video.

The series was first announced in February 2023 and the only casting news at the time was that Jamie Hector, who played Jerry Edgar in all seven seasons of the original Bosch series, was going to reprise his role. 

The untitled series from Amazon MGM Studios would have followed Edgar in an undercover FBI mission in Little Haiti, Miami, where he is “forced to balance his new life with the gritty underbelly of the city while being chased by his mysterious past.”

Bosch: Legacy debuted in 2022 on Amazon’s Freevee streaming platform and the final season will be released in March 2025 on Prime Video.

Maggie Q will make her debut as  Detective Renee Ballard in the finale of the upcoming third and final season. A spinoff series about Ballard was announced at the time as the Hector project. 

The series about Ballard will still be moving forward with Prime Video per TVLine.
