Season 2 of Bosch (TV Series) consists of 10 episodes and was released on 11 March 2016. The season uses material from the books Trunk Music, The Drop and The Last Coyote as the basis for the plot. Bosch is entangled in a case involving a corrupt LAPD unit and the murder of an Armenian crime boss.
On March 18, 2015, the Los Angeles Times reported that the series had been renewed for a second season, which "will draw primarily from Connelly's novel Trunk Music" while also including "elements of The Last Coyote and The Drop."
Variety reported that the renewal resulted from the fact that the series "broke records with the biggest debut weekend of any original series from Amazon," and "has been the most-watched title on Prime Instant Video out of all TV shows and movies in the four weeks since the season one debut," indicating that the second season will feature Bosch investigating "the murder of a Hollywood producer who laundered money for the mafia" while pursuing "serial killer Chilton Hardy...from the Hollywood Hills down through L.A.’s gritty back streets." IGN reported that series stars Titus Welliver, Jamie Hector, Amy Aquino, Lance Reddick, and Sarah Clarke would be returning for the second season.
On March 19, Connelly confirmed in a Washington Post interview that Nate Tyler "is back in Season Two, and he and Harry have straightened it out." On March 25, Deadline reported that Madison Lintz would be a regular in Season 2, and that "her role will have a more prominent presence in the second season." On July 28, Deadline reported that Brent Sexton had "booked a season-long recurring arc" as "Carl Nash, a former police detective who was shoved out of the department by internal affairs and who has a long history with Bosch." Connelly announced on Facebook that filming for the second season began on July 30.
On July 16, the series was nominated for the Outstanding Main Title Design award at the 67th Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards; the award was won by Manhattan.
On August 5, Deadline reported that Jeri Ryan had "booked a multi-episode arc" in the second season, portraying "Veronica Allen, a former stripper who married a prolific porn producer and now lives in luxury, turning a blind eye to her husband’s constant philandering." On the same day, Deadline also reported that Erika Alexander had "booked a season-long recurring arc," playing "Connie Irving, a college professor and Deputy Chief Irving’s wife who is concerned about furthering her husband’s career and keeping her police officer son safe," replacing Michelle Hurd, who had played the role in the first-season episode "High Low."
On August 11, scenes were filmed at the Los Angeles Times Building at 1st and Spring Streets in Los Angeles. On August 12, scenes were filmed at the "print shed" of the Los Angeles Police Department's Criminalistics Laboratory. Also on August 12, Nicholas Gonzalez posted a pair of Tweets that seemed to confirm that the actor had been cast to play LAPD detective Ignacio Ferras; two days earlier, Gonzalez had Tweeted that he had finished reading The Overlook, in which the character of Ferras first appeared.
On August 24, Annie Wersching released a photograph on Instagram of herself in a police uniform leaning against a squad car with the caption "Brasher's back baby!!!"
On December 1, Connelly announced on Facebook that filming on the second season had concluded.
