In Los Angeles, actor Manuel Garcia-Rulfo recently expressed excitement about a potential crossover between the shows The Lincoln Lawyer and Bosch. However, with Prime Video’s new crime series receiving a perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes, the likelihood of this crossover appears diminished. In Michael Connelly’s literary works, character Mickey Haller, portrayed by Garcia-Rulfo, learns he has a half-brother, Heironymous “Harry” Bosch, who plays a critical part in several stories. Nonetheless, Haller has yet to feature in the Bosch series, which similarly has not included Bosch in The Lincoln Lawyer series, largely due to rights issues involving competing streaming platforms.
The absence of crossover scenes has left fans yearning, but Garcia-Rulfo remains hopeful. During a press event for another project, he expressed a desire to collaborate with Titus Welliver, the actor behind Harry Bosch. "That would be amazing," Garcia-Rulfo said, reminiscing about a visit Welliver made to the Lincoln Lawyer set. He noted that while a crossover would be difficult, he dreams of the possibility and even suggested a subtle cameo where Bosch could be seen “walking in the halls of court” as Haller looks on.
While Garcia-Rulfo’s enthusiasm offers a glimmer of hope, recent developments complicate the potential for a crossover. Since the conclusion of Bosch and its sequel series, Bosch: Legacy, some anticipated a shift in streaming partnerships. However, the emergence of Ballard, a spinoff that features Welliver’s Bosch, has significantly altered the landscape. The show has garnered impressive ratings and has become a top contender on Prime Video, making it unlikely for the platform to share Bosch with other networks.
Ballard, which showcases Mickey Haller’s half-brother in its first season, has established a strong rapport between its main characters, leading many to speculate about future storylines. Given the successful reception of Ballard, it’s apparent that Prime Video intends to retain the character to build upon the existing narrative. Although there remains a desire among fans for a crossover between The Lincoln Lawyer and Bosch, the odds seem slim as the network solidifies its investment in Ballard.
As both series continue to develop their respective story arcs, fans and actors alike will keep their fingers crossed for the chance to see these two beloved characters share the screen. However, for now, the future of a crossover remains more a dream than a reality.
