Michael Connelly confirms season three of Bosch

The travails of Harry Bosch over on Amazon Prime has been garnering some pretty strong praise recently, and many think it’s the best procedural on the box. And when I say box, I mean an on-demand streaming portal that you’re perhaps more likely to watch on a laptop or tablet. It stars Titus Welliver as Los Angeles Police detective Harry Bosch and takes its inspiration from three of Michael Connelly’s novels City of Bones, Echo Park, and The Concrete Blonde. Many believe it’s the best evocation of Los Angeles in a crime drama since the golden days of Hollywood thrillers. They might just have a point. Now, its creator has announced, it has been renewed for a third series.

Gillian Flynn’s Sharp Objects picked up by HBO

Ever since Gillian Flynn hit big with Gone Girl, anything attached to her name has been (rightly) coveted.

But that experience hasn’t deterred the subscription cable broadcaster from working with Flynn – or her material – again.

Sky Atlantic releases first look images from season two of Fortitude

Now, with the filming for series two underway, Sky Atlantic has released the first batch of photographs.
