Amazon MGM Studios is not moving forward with the Untitled J. Edgar project, one of the projects Bosch Spin-offs developed in the studio. In the meantime, Amazon Freevee is making no progress Who is the boss? Sequel with Tony Danza and Alyssa Milano, who was in the works at the streamer.

The “Untitled J. Edgar” project was one of two Bosch Spin-offs announced as being in development at Amazon MGM in February 2023. The other, about Detective Renée Ballard, was picked up to series earlier this year with Maggie Q in the lead role.

Larry Andries (Blue blood) wrote the script for the J. Edgar spinoff, which he executive produced with Michael Connelly, author of the Harry Bosch book series. Andries was charged with six counts of sexual assault in March.

The J. Edgar spin-off would follow Harry Bosch's (Titus Welliver) former partner, Detective Jerry Edgar, as he is recruited for an undercover FBI mission in Little Haiti, Miami. In this glamorous city, he is forced to balance his new life with the city's dark underbelly while being haunted by his mysterious past.

Jamie Hector, who played the role of Edgar alongside Welliver Boschwas set to reprise his role in the potential spin-off, which was also executive produced by Henrik Bastin and Melissa Aouate and co-executive produced by Jasmine Russ on behalf of Fabel Entertainment.

Amazon's Bosch Universe, which began in 2014 with the long-running Mothership series, currently consists of Bosch: legacy, starring Welliver and the untitled drama by Renée Ballard. Bosch: Legacy is set to end with the upcoming third season, which will introduce Q's Ballard.
