Amazon has renewed Bosch: Legacy for Season 2, ahead of its debut on Amazon Freevee.

The spin-off from Amazon original detective drama Bosch is one of the flagship titles for the online retailer’s free, ad-supported streaming platform, which has been rebranded from its original name of IMDb TV.

It follows retired homicide detective turned private investigator Harry Bosch (Titus Welliver) as he fights to work cases without the authority his former job provided. Meanwhile, attorney Honey “Money” Chandler (Mimi Rogers) struggles to maintain her faith in the justice system after surviving an attempted murder, and Maddie Bosch (Madison Lintz) discovers the possibilities and challenges of being a rookie patrol cop on the streets of Los Angeles. Bosch: Legacy, from Fabel Entertainment, is executive produced by Michael Connelly, Eric Overmyer, Tom Bernardo, Henrik Bastin, Pieter Jan Brugge and Titus Welliver.
 
The series premieres on 6th May and, before that premiere, Amazon has already ordered a second season.

It’s a statement of intent for the online giant, which has unveiled a slate of original programming for Freevee. That includes America’s Test Kitchen: The Next Generation, the coming-of-age drama Beyond Black Beauty, the family competition series Play-Doh Squished and the music documentary Post Malone: Runaway. Amazon Freevee also picked up a fourth season of UNINTERRUPTED’s Top Class: The Life and Times of the Sierra Canyon Trailblazers.

Post Malone: Runaway is a one-hour music documentary showcasing the story of Grammy-nominated Post Malone’s first arena tour, 2019’s The Runaway Tour. The movie, which will be the second Original film on Amazon Freevee, features exclusive backstage access, live performances, and intimate interviews, peeling back the curtain on Post Malone’s personal and professional life during this pivotal career milestone.
 
UNINTERRUPTED’s Top Class: The Life and Times of the Sierra Canyon Trailblazers showcases the Sierra Canyon Trailblazers, one of Southern California’s elite high school basketball teams, as they chase championship history and balance school, friendships and their budding basketball careers. Season 3 will take viewers on a journey as the Trailblazers put it all on the line to regain their spot as the ‘22 CIF-champions.
