Nicknamed “J. Edgar”, he was Bosch’s (Titus Welliver) police partner throughout the original series. According to Deadline, a potential show focusing on Jerry was in development since early 2023.

Meanwhile, a separate spin-off featuring the character Renee Ballard (Maggie Q) is moving forward as a series. Ballard, who also hails from Michael Connelly’s novels, will be introduced in Bosch Legacy’s final season. She is a detective tasked with the unenviable job of running the LAPD’s new cold case unit.
