Harry Bosch is heading back to Prime Video, this time as a rookie. Bosch: Start of Watch, a prequel to the long-running crime drama, premieres Sunday, Jan. 10, 2027, with an eight-episode first season, Collider reports.
Cameron Monaghan (Shameless) plays a 26-year-old Bosch in 1992, the role Titus Welliver made famous. Omari Hardwick (Power) co-stars as Eli Bridges, a veteran cop who serves as Harry's training officer. Ariana Guerra and JD Pardo are series regulars as Rosa and Cory, and William Fichtner and Keyon Bowman are also in the cast.

The series follows Harry as he starts policing in a city on the edge, marked by racial tension, gang violence and a police department that looks corrupt. Routine calls pull him into a high-profile heist and a web of criminal corruption that tests his loyalty to the badge, according to the show's description.
Tom Bernardo and Brian Anthony co-created the series and serve as executive producers, with Bernardo as showrunner. Like the earlier shows, it is based on Michael Connelly's novels.
Why it matters
The prequel extends a franchise that has been a Prime Video fixture since 2015. Welliver led the original Bosch for seven seasons, then Bosch: Legacy, which ran three seasons and ended in 2025. Maggie Q now leads the spinoff Ballard as Renee Ballard, where a retired Harry makes occasional appearances.
The prequel also gives Hardwick a central role in the franchise's next chapter as Harry's mentor opposite Monaghan, while Guerra and Pardo join as regulars. Cup of Soul has followed Hardwick's recent work, including the action thriller Empire City with Gerard Butler.
Prime Video has released first-look photos of Monaghan and Hardwick. Whether all eight episodes will drop at once or roll out weekly has not been announced.
