Bosch: Legacy Set for IMDb TV; Fremantle/Fabel Ent Investment Deal

When Bosch: Legacy premieres sometime later this year, it will have been two years since ex-LAPD detective Hieronymous "Harry" Bosch (Titus Welliver) handed in his badge and now the focus will be on his career as a private investigator, but he won't be sharing the spotlight alone. With the first season based on bestselling author Michael Connelly's The Wrong Side of Goodbye, the spinoff/sequel series will also focus on his police officer daughter Maddie (Madison Lintz) & lawyer Honey "Money" Chandler (Mimi Rogers). And now it's been locked in that the series will air on IMDb TV after production powerhouse Fremantle acquired a 25% stake in Henrik Bastin's Fabel Entertainment, which recently produced the seventh & final season of the series adaptation of Connelly's novels.

Fremantle's talented team, wide breadth of global content, and beloved series will certainly complement our growing and diverse pipeline of highly compelling and character-driven stories."
