Season 3 of Bosch (TV Series) consists of 10 episodes and was released on 21 April 2017. The season uses material from the books The Black Echo and A Darkness More Than Night as the basis for the plot. Bosch is consumed with his mission to find justice for the marginalised and his obsessive focus leads his colleagues to suspect he may have strayed too far across the line to come back. Bosch investigates the murder of a veteran, needing the help of Sharkey - a runaway and the sole witness.
On April 1, Connelly announced on Facebook "that season 3 of Bosch is a go," and that the third season will "adapt The Black Echo and elements of A Darkness More Than Night this time around"; the show thus became "Amazon's longest-running scripted drama." At that time, Bosch was renewed for seasons 3 and 4, although the fourth season renewal was not announced until later.
The third season began filming on July 28, and Connelly posted a 49-second announcement video from the set. Connelly posted an update on August 24th regarding the filming of the third season on Facebook:
- It is hard to put into words what I feel as I see these scenes with Harry Bosch and the kid Sharkey being filmed. Right out of my first novel The Black Echo. When I wrote it 25 plus years ago I started with Sharkey. The street kid was the first fictional character on the page, drawn from runaway kids I knew while growing up and working in the kitchens of hotels in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Harry came into the story after — obviously drawn from literary and movie heroes as well as detectives I met as a news reporter. So to see this story come alive now with these two fine actors — Titus Welliver of course as Harry, Bridger Zadina as Sharkey — is amazing to me. After three seasons you’d think this would get old but I am mesmerized by these two and their interactions. More so than past days on the set, I get a nostalgic feel to it. I remember writing that first book and trying to find time to get to it between the hours of my real job as a reporter. I am certainly happy that we decided not to present the show in the same order of the books. Waiting to do The Black Echo in season 3 gave this crew on both sides of the camera better understanding of what we have and what we want to accomplish. I think this season will be the one I’ve waited 25 years for.
