MGM+ is set to release Bosch: Start of Watch, a new series delving into the early career of detective Harry Bosch. The show will premiere on January 10, 2027, with subsequent episodes released weekly until February 21, 2027. Cameron Monaghan stars as a 26-year-old Harry Bosch, newly joined with the Los Angeles Police Department after serving in the Persian Gulf War.
This prequel series is not a direct adaptation of Michael Connelly's novels. It represents the first detailed depiction of Bosch as a rookie officer, exploring uncharted territory in his life and career. The narrative unfolds in the early 1990s, against the significant backdrop of the Rodney King beating and leading up to the L.A. riots.
Showrunner Tom Bernardo highlights the freshness of exploring a less experienced Bosch amidst L.A.'s racial tensions and societal issues. The cast includes Omari Hardwick as Bosch's training officer, Ariana Guerra as a fellow rookie and romantic interest, and J.D. Pardo as Bosch's foster brother. The series was filmed in Los Angeles to ensure authenticity.
