What is Bosch?
I don't know why you're asking me this – you should already know if you're here. But Bosch is an Amazon Prime Video series that draws takes its inspiration from the Michael Connelly novels City of Bones (2002), Echo Park (2006), and The Concrete Blonde (1994). The series follows Los Angeles Police detective Harry Bosch, as played by Titus Welliver. Michael Connelly's best-selling books also inspired the movie The Lincoln Lawyer, and the Lincoln Lawyer himself, Mickey Haller, is actually the paternal half-brother of Bosch. There's also a Lincoln Lawyer TV series in the works, but Bosch won't be making an appearance. And oh yeah, Bosch's full name is Hieronymus "Harry" Bosch. So he's got that going for him.
Bosch Season 7 Synopsis
Want to know what Bosch season 7 is about? Good, because I'm about to tell you:
Based on Michael Connelly's best-selling novel The Burning Room (2014) and the real arson case that inspired it, the seventh and final season of Prime Video's Bosch puts Detective Harry Bosch's famous motto center stage: "Everybody counts or nobody counts." When a ten-year-old girl dies in an arson fire, Detective Harry Bosch risks everything to bring her killer to justice despite opposition from powerful forces. The highly charged, politically sensitive case forces Bosch to face a grueling dilemma of how far he is willing to go to achieve justice.
For comparison's sake, here's the synopsis of The Burning Room book that inspired this new season:
In the LAPD's Open-Unsolved Unit, not many murder victims die a decade after the crime. So when a man succumbs to complications from being shot by a stray bullet ten years earlier, Bosch catches a case in which the body is still fresh, but any other clues are virtually nonexistent. Even a veteran cop would find this one tough going, but Bosch's new partner, Detective Lucia Soto, has no homicide experience. A young star in the department, Soto has been assigned to Bosch so that he can pass on to her his hard-won expertise.
Now Bosch and Soto are tasked with solving a murder that turns out to be highly charged and politically sensitive. Beginning with the bullet that has been lodged for years in the victim's spine, they must pull new leads from years-old evidence, and these soon reveal that the shooting was anything but random.
As their investigation picks up speed, it leads to another unsolved case with even greater stakes: the deaths of several children in a fire that occurred twenty years ago. But when their work starts to threaten careers and lives, Bosch and Soto must decide whether it is worth risking everything to find the truth, or if it's safer to let some secrets stay buried.

Is This the End of Bosch?
Yes, and no. Bosch is Amazon's longest-running season, and season 7 will mark the show's end. However, Bosch himself is sticking around. IMDb TV, which is owned by Amazon, has already ordered a spin-off series. That series is set to begin production later this year. It will feature Titus Welliver, Mimi Rogers, and Madison Lintz. The spin-off "will follow Harry Bosch as he embarks on the next chapter of his career and finds himself working with his one-time enemy and top-notch attorney Honey 'Money' Chandler. With a deep and complicated history between this unlikely pair, they must work together to do what they can agree on – finding justice."
