\n\tThe world of Harry Bosch<\/a> continues to grow. <\/p>\n

\n\tCable and streaming outlet MGM+<\/a> has ordered a series called Bosch: Start of Watch, a prequel to the Bosch series that starred Titus Welliver as the title character, the LAPD detective from Michael Connelly\u2019s best-selling novels. Cameron Monaghan<\/a> (Shameless, Gotham) will play the young Harry, and Omari Hardwick<\/a> (Power) will also star.<\/p>\n

\n\tStart of Watch will be the fourth series in the Bosch-verse, following Prime Video\u2019s Bosch, sequel Bosch: Legacy and spinoff Ballard, which was recently renewed for a second season<\/a>. Franchise veterans Tom Bernardo and Brian Anthony co-created the series and will executive produce, with Bernardo serving as showrunner. The show is set to film in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

\n\tFabel Entertainment is producing, as it has for the rest of the franchise. Along with Bernardo and Anthony, Connelly, Henrik Bastin, Jamie Boscardin Martin and Jasmine Russ executive produce. Theresa Snider of Hieronymus Pictures is a co-EP.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe are thrilled to expand the Bosch universe with this compelling origin story that showcases how one of television\u2019s most beloved detectives became the man we know today,\u201d said MGM+ head Michael Wright. \u201cWith Cameron Monaghan and Omari Hardwick bringing these complex characters to life, and the creative vision of Michael Connelly and our talented executive producers,\u00a0Bosch: Start of Watch\u00a0promises to deliver the gritty, authentic storytelling that honors the franchise\u2019s legacy while opening an exciting new chapter.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tStart of Watch will be set in 1991, with the 26-year-old Harry as an LAPD rookie under the tutelage of training officer Eli Bridges (Hardwick). \u201cThe series will explore a city on the edge, teeming with racial tension, gang violence, and a fractured LAPD,\u201d the logline reads. \u201cAmid routine calls and growing unrest, Bosch finds himself drawn into a high-profile heist and a web of criminal corruption that will test his loyalty to the badge and shape his future as the detective who lives by the code, \u2018Everybody counts or nobody counts.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI\u2019m deeply grateful to Michael Wright and the team at MGM+ for championing this next chapter in Bosch\u2019s journey with such remarkable care and integrity,\u201d said Connelly. \u201cBeing able to see how Harry Bosch became the man we have loved for 10 seasons is a gift to me and his many fans. I can\u2019t wait to dig in with Cameron and the writers to explore this uncharted character territory.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The world of Harry Bosch continues to grow.
