The third and final season of “Bosch: Legacy,” featuring 10 all-new episodes of the hit series, is set to release Thursday, March 27 on Prime Video, and will see ‘The Young and the Restless” alum Miles Gaston Villanueva (ex-Luca Santori) joining the cast as Det. Perry Lopez.
According to a description released by Variety, the character is a native Angeleno with a background in working gang murders in South Los Angeles. Recently elevated to the LAPD’s elite Robbery Homicide Division (RHD), and eager to make a name for himself, Lopez is partnered with the seasoned Det. Jimmy Robertson (Paul Calderon) as they are tasked to investigate Harry Bosch (Titus Welliver) in a possible murder-for-hire case.
From September 16, 2015-September 9, 2016, Villanueva portrayed Luca Santori on “The Young and the Restless,” the estranged husband of Marisa Sierras (Sofia Pernas). The character was described as a charming and mysterious Spanish prince from a wealthy family.
Since exiting “The Young and the Restless,” Villanueva has gone on to appear in such shows as “Jane the Virgin,” “Rosewood,” “The Fosters,” and “For The People.” He also had a starring role in the limited series “Law & Order True Crime: The Menendez Murders,” focusing on the Menendez brothers and the murder of their parents. He portrayed the elder brother, Lyle Menendez.
In 2019, Villanueva was cast as Dr. Alec Shaw on “The Resident,” and later played the role of Owen over seven episodes of “Nancy Drew.” By 2022, Villanueva appeared as Supersonic, one of the newest members of The Seven, in at least four episodes of Prime Video’s “The Boys.”
In season three of “Bosch: Legacy,” which is based on Michael Connelly’s best-selling novels “Desert Star” (2022) and “The Black Ice” (1993), an investigation into the murder of Kurt Dockweiler (David Denman) brings dangerous secrets to light and threatens to ruin the lives of our three principal characters. Also, the disappearance of a family haunts Harry Bosch, forcing him to confront the limits of justice. In a hotly contested race, Honey “Money” Chandler (Mimi Rogers), an attorney who struggles to maintain her faith in the justice system, is poised to become the next District Attorney of Los Angeles. Meanwhile, Maddie Bosch (Madison Lintz) gets entangled in a series of violent follow-home robberies as she wrestles with the challenges of being a patrol cop on the streets of Los Angeles.
“Bosch: Legacy” is a spinoff of “Bosch,” the then Amazon Prime Video original that ran for seven seasons from 2014-2021, marking a key milestone for the streamer as its longest-running series to date. The spinoff was originally set to launch on IMDb TV, Amazon’s FAST (free ad-supported television) service before being rebranded to Amazon Freevee.
The first season launched on May 6, 2022, while season two premiered on October 20, 2023, and saw episodes available on both Amazon Freevee and Prime Video. Last fall, Amazon announced that it would discontinue Amazon Freevee and that all its content would be available on Prime Video at no cost for non-subscribers.
