“Similar to what we did in Season 3 with the character of Neil Bishop, who’s, as you level out, Lankford within the books, Michael has given us in his books, and we’ve then expanded within the present this panoply of characters and conditions for Mickey and it offers us a whole lot of completely different wells to attract from,” co-showrunner Ted Humphrey advised TV Insider. “They usually do that, I’ve observed, in Bosch as effectively—there are such a lot of Bosch books.
