Bosch: Legacy Deserves a Fitting Conclusion Like Its Long-Running Predecessor

Overview

Amazon’s sudden cancellation of Bosch: Legacy parallels CBS’s abrupt decision regarding Blue Bloods, though the latter received a more fitting conclusion thanks to Tom Selleck’s advocacy.
The petition to Save Bosch: Legacy aims to compel Amazon to provide a proper resolution for the series.
The cast and crew of Bosch: Legacy are reportedly silent about the cancellation concerns due to job security with the upcoming Ballard spin-off.

The series Bosch: Legacy is wrapping up after more than ten years of compelling narratives centered around the character Harry Bosch. This cancellation isn’t a phenomenon exclusive to Amazon, as CBS recently concluded the long-running show Blue Bloods after an impressive 14-season run. However, in contrast with Amazon’s abrupt end, CBS made the effort to provide an appropriate finale.

The grassroots movement known as Save Bosch: Legacy is striving to get Amazon’s attention, urging the platform to allow the show’s creators to conclude the series gracefully. While all appeals thus far seem to have gone unheard, the increasing fervor among fans makes it increasingly difficult for Amazon to dismiss their demands. If CBS could appreciate the importance of offering a proper conclusion to one of its biggest franchises, it would be reasonable to expect Amazon to follow suit.

Blue Bloods: A Fitting Farewell to Beloved Characters

Since its debut in 2010, Blue Bloods has been a staple for CBS, consistently attracting viewers throughout its successful run. The announcement of its cancellation came as a shock, particularly given its unwavering ratings. Originally, the final season was set to include just ten episodes, premiering in Spring 2024. However, thanks to the intervention of Tom Selleck, who plays the lead role of Frank Reagan, CBS ultimately agreed to extend the show’s farewell to include eight additional episodes in the fall of 2024.

Selleck’s influence was clear as he articulated the need for CBS to reconsider their abrupt cancellation decision. In a discussion with Variety, he expressed his confusion over the decision-making process, appreciating that despite not being in charge, he and the cast had a desire to give viewers a proper goodbye.

Similarly, Donnie Wahlberg, who stars alongside Selleck, voiced his disappointment post-finale in an interview with Fox News Digital, emphasizing the team’s efforts to keep the show alive for its dedicated audience.

Amazon Needs to Emulate CBS’s Approach

Blue Bloods fans owe a debt of gratitude to Tom Selleck for advocating a proper farewell, which ultimately allowed the show to conclude on a high note. While CBS’s cancellation decision did not entirely reverse, they did provide additional episodes for a satisfying closure.

As Selleck poignantly stated in his interview, “The show deserved a legacy we’re proud of.” In stark contrast, Amazon’s abrupt cancellation of Bosch: Legacy happened after filming for its third season completed, depriving the show’s creative team of the opportunity to craft a proper ending. Interestingly, while Selleck and Wahlberg voiced their opinions on Blue Bloods‘s fate, the Bosch: Legacy cast has maintained a notable silence regarding the abrupt conclusion. It is widely understood in Hollywood that the entire team was not in favor of this sudden cancellation.

It appears that Amazon may be leveraging the upcoming spin-off featuring Ballard to maintain silence among the cast and crew, who are understandably focused on job security given the industry’s current climate. While Amazon may wish for a quiet season, the innate principle of freedom of expression remains a fundamental part of American society. The question remains: will Amazon choose to grant fans and creators their wish for a fitting conclusion to Bosch: Legacy?
