Chronology | |
Preceded by | Bosch |
Hieronymus "Harry" Bosch has retired from the LAPD and works as a private investigator. Defense attorney Honey "Money" Chandler has him work on some cases for her. His daughter, Maddie, navigates her first days as a patrol officer with the LAPD, working from Hollywood Station, where her father used to be assigned. Bosch investigates businessman Carl Rogers, who previously hired a hitman to kill Chandler. Billionaire businessman Whitney Vance asks Bosch to discreetly investigate a private matter.
Guest appearances are made by members of the Bosch cast, including Gregory Scott Cummins as Crate, Troy Evans as Barrel, and Jamie Hector as Jerry Edgar. Scott Klace continues in his role as Sgt. John "Mank" Mankiewicz, the desk sergeant at the Hollywood Station, now keeping an eye on Maddie.[4] Welliver's elder son, Eamonn, portrays a younger Bosch in episode 8, "Bloodlines".[5]
After the conclusion of Bosch, producers began discussing a new series that would feature Harry after his retirement from the LAPD, as happens in the later Bosch novels. Welliver admits that it is essentially Bosch season 8, but the focus is different: Harry is no longer a cop, and the main characters are Bosch, Maddie, and Chandler.[1][2]
