When Harry Bosch left the LAPD under a cloud and registered as a private investigator in the final season of the originalBoschseries, it didn’t end his involvement with his loyal Hollywood Homicide colleagues,Crate and Barrel.Gregory Scott Cummins and Troy Evans returned as Crate and Barrel inBosch: Legacy’s first two seasons, albeit in a drastically reduced role, and it turns out Evans was less than happy with this.In arecent post on Facebookin response to a fan’s question about Crate and Barrel’s role in the upcoming final season, Evans said:
Not much Crate and Barrel in Bosch: Legacy season 3. Amazon wanted younger people. We have like, 4 scenes in 3 seasons. Disappointing.
This is very disappointing news forBosch: Legacyfans, with Crate and Barrel providing much-needed comic relief and support to Harry Bosch’s investigations in the series.The fan favorites appeared in two episodes each ofBosch: Legacy’s first two seasons, which was a huge drop from their prominent roles in the originalBoschseries. Based on Evans' most recent comments,the third and final season ofBosch: Legacylooks set to feature Crate and Barrel even less.
Save Bosch: Legacy Key Facts
Crate And Barrel Probably Won’t Return In The Ballard Spin-Off As Amazon Tries To Appeal To The Younger Demographic At The Expense Of The Authenticity Of The Story
Crate and Barrel were involved in one of the most explosive storylines to ever feature in the Bosch-verse, when they assisted Harry Bosch with the explosion ofCarl Rogers' pipeline inBosch: Legacyseason 1. When the pair returned inBosch: Legacyseason 2, Bosch informed Crate and Barrel ofthe FBI investigation into the explosion, and warned the now-retired detectives that they may be facing subpoenas for their roles in the crime. This plot thread was left wide open as the second season came to a close, sohow is Crate and Barrel’s limited appearance in the final season going to significantly pay this off, while also giving these legendary characters a proper send off?The fact that Troy Evans and Gregory Scott Cummins have recently spoken out against Amazon strongly suggests they won’t be playing a part in the upcomingBallardspin-off. This is particularly bizarre as thefan favorites are perfect for Ballard’s cold case unitas it’s designed to recruit retired detectives.Crate and Barrel are being phased out when they are arguably more important than ever, withthe introduction of Renee Ballard.
The character of Renee Ballard might typically recruit retired investigators to crack open theLibrary of Lost Soulscold case files, but Amazon’s big strategy moving forward is to appeal solely to the younger demographic, and this is abig problem for theBallardspin-off.Bosch: Legacyhas become a victim of this mindset as the streamer’s tunnel vision has resulted in a backlash from the fans who launched theSaveBosch: Legacypetitionin response to the cancelation. Over 25,000 fans have joined the campaign to keep the best television show of the last decade on screens.When the ‘final’ season ofBosch: Legacyfinishes on April 17, fans will realize they’ve not been given the proper ending they were promised,and the pressure will mount on Amazon to renew the show.Bosch: Legacyseason 2 ended nearly 18 months ago, but the appetite for moreHarry Bosch solo storieshasn’t dissipated. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, and the fans want more.
