Why Bosch: Legacy ended so abruptly is because Amazon Freevee, the free streaming service that carried Bosch: Legacy, was shut down by Amazon in late 2024 to early 2025, and Bosch: Legacy Season 3 was its final season before transition to new Bosch universe. Bosch: Legacy, starring Titus Welliver as Harry Bosch, premiered in 2022 on Amazon Freevee as sequel to Bosch which ran 7 seasons on Amazon Prime Video from 2014 to 2021, based on Michael Connelly novels. Bosch: Legacy ran 3 seasons, with Season 3 released in March to April 2025, ending with some cliffhangers that were intended to lead into next spinoff. Amazon decided to close Freevee and consolidate content into Prime Video, and announced that Bosch: Legacy would end after Season 3, but Bosch universe continues with new spinoff titled Ballard starring Maggie Q as Detective Renée Ballard, and another untitled Bosch spinoff with Titus Welliver returning in supporting role. So ending felt abrupt because final episode of Season 3 was not designed as series finale but as season finale leading into Ballard, and Amazon's decision to end Freevee forced quick conclusion. Michael Connelly confirmed Bosch will continue in Ballard universe. So Bosch: Legacy ended abruptly due to Amazon shutting down Freevee and transitioning Bosch franchise to Ballard spinoff, not due to ratings, with story continuing in new shows.
