Harry Bosch is still around, even if so many people have tried to bury him that he might as well have a permanent place at the graveyard. But everyone wants to see the original blend. Titus Welliver has continued to make appearances across the expanding franchise, including the Maggie Q-led Ballard, while MGM+ has been hard at work on a prequel series that focuses on Bosch’s early days as a beat cop in Los Angeles, during the 1990s. Even so, neither project quite replaces watching Welliver hunting down baddies.
Speaking to ScreenRant during the Italian Global Series festival, Welliver confirmed that he had no concrete news to share about another solo project, but stressed that “the intent is there” to bring his version of Bosch back as the lead. The preference for those involved is a movie, while Welliver also pointed to the success of Jack Ryan: Ghost War, Prime Video’s feature-length epilogue of the John Krasinskiseries, as proof that a major streaming show can successfully make the same jump.

Five universes. Five completely different ways the future went wrong — or sideways, or up in flames. Only one of them is the world your instincts were built for. Eight questions will figure out which dystopia, galaxy, or desert wasteland you’d actually make it out of alive.

01
You sense something is deeply wrong with the world around you. What do you do? The first instinct is often the truest one.

02
In a world of scarcity, what resource do you guard most fiercely? What we protect reveals what we believe survival actually requires.

03
What kind of threat keeps you up at night? Fear is useful data — if you’re honest about what you’re actually afraid of.

04
How do you deal with authority you don’t trust? Every dystopia has a power structure. Your approach to it determines everything.

05
Which environment could you actually endure long-term? Survival isn’t just tactical — it’s physical, psychological, and very much about where you are.

06
Who do you want in your corner when things fall apart? The company you keep is the clearest signal of who you actually are.

07
Where do you draw the line — if you draw one at all? Every survivor eventually faces a moment that tests what they’re actually made of.

08
What would actually make survival worth it? Staying alive is one thing. Having a reason to is another.

Your Fate Has Been Calculated You’d Survive In…
Your answers point to the world your instincts were built for. This is the universe your temperament, your survival instincts, and your particular brand of stubbornness were made for.

The Resistance, Zion
The Matrix
You took the red pill a long time ago — probably before anyone offered it to you. You’re a systems thinker who can’t help but notice the seams in things.
You’re drawn to understanding how the system works before figuring out how to break it.
You’d find the Resistance, or it would find you — your instinct for spotting constructed realities is the machines’ worst nightmare.
You function best when you have access to information and the freedom to act on it.
The Matrix built an airtight prison. You’d be the one probing the walls for the door.

The Wasteland
Mad Max
The wasteland doesn’t reward the clever or the well-connected — it rewards those who are hard to kill and harder to break. That’s you.
You don’t need comfort, community, or a cause larger than the next horizon.
You need a vehicle, a clear threat, and enough fuel to outrun it — and you’re good at all three.
You are unsentimental enough to survive that world, and decent enough — just barely — to be something more than another raider.
In the wasteland, that distinction is everything.

Los Angeles, 2049
Blade Runner
You’d survive here because you know how to exist in moral grey areas without losing yourself completely.
You read people accurately, keep your circle small, and ask the questions others prefer not to answer.
In a city where humanity is a legal designation rather than a feeling, you hold onto something that keeps you functional.
You’re not a hero. But you’re not lost, either.
In Blade Runner’s world, that distinction is everything.

Arrakis
Dune
Arrakis is the most hostile environment in the known universe — and you are precisely the kind of person it rewards.
Patience, discipline, and political awareness are your core strengths — and on Arrakis, they’re survival tools.
You understand that the long game matters more than any single victory.
Others come to Dune and are consumed by it. You’d learn its logic and earn its respect.
In time, you wouldn’t just survive Arrakis — you’d begin to reshape it.

A Galaxy Far, Far Away
Star Wars
The galaxy far, far away is vast, loud, and in a constant state of violent political upheaval — and you wouldn’t have it any other way.
You find meaning in being part of something larger than yourself — a cause, a crew, a rebellion.
You’d gravitate toward the Rebellion, or the fringes, or whatever pocket of the galaxy still believes the Empire’s grip can be broken.
You fight — not because you have to, but because standing aside isn’t something you’re capable of.
In Star Wars, that willingness is what makes all the difference.

Titus Welliver Wants a Standalone ‘Bosch’ Movie
“I think that would be what we would ultimately want to do, would be a standalone Bosch film,” Welliver said. “Not to get closure, because to quote Harry Bosch, ‘Closure is a myth,’ but people want more. They want Bosch, they want to see him again, and I think that Ballard doesn’t give them enough sustenance. They want to see the original thing. They want the integrity of what birthed that universe of those other shows. That’s the tried and true original product.”

Welliver was the heart and soul of Bosch for seven seasons, then returned for three more in Bosch: Legacy. Although the sequel series was successful, Prime Video ended it after Season 3, despite all creatives involved planning the fourth season. The actor has since returned in Ballard and is expected to appear in three episodes of Season 2.
At the same time, MGM+ has been filiming Bosch: Start of Watch, a prequel starring Cameron Monaghan (Gotham) as the detective during his first year with the LAPD as a 26-year-old. Now, while Ballard and Start of Watch are keeping Harry front and center, Welliver believes that’ll never be enough because the fans want to see the Harry Bosch they know, front and center. And with countless Bosch stories from Michael Connelly‘s novels still untouched by any form of adaptation, there’s plenty of room to give Harry the farewell he deserves.
A standalone Bosch movie has not yet been officially announced.
