When it comes to cop dramas, few names carry the same weight as Titus Welliver, who has spent the better part of the last decade playing Harry Bosch. What makes his rise to prominence even more impressive is that most of the world’s most popular police procedurals came from network TV — Welliver was one of the first actors to commit to bringing a great cop drama to life on streaming, which he did thanks to Prime Video. Welliver first played Bosch all the way back in 2014, where he starred as the LA-based detective for seven seasons in the show of the same name. Bosch went off the air in 2021, but fans didn’t have to wait long to see Welliver return to the role in Bosch: Legacy, which even saw him team up with one of his arch-rivals.

HBO has had a massive year so far in 2026, and the first project to take over the world on streaming was The Pitt. The critically acclaimed medical drama is led by ER veteran Noah Wyle, and HBO was so sure that Season 2 of the show was going to perform well that it was picked up for Season 3 days before the premiere. HBO kept this momentum going in a different genre earlier this year with the new Game of Thrones spin-off show, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. Fans are preparing to return to Westeros soon for House of the Dragon Season 3, which will begin streaming around the world on June 21. It’s already been confirmed that the first episode of House of the Dragon Season 3 will feature a giant battle scene that unfolds over an hour.

It takes strong penmanship to write a solid thriller. Whether it's a multi-season series or a limited release, thriller writers have a distinctive way of delivering suspenseful stories that test the limits of human character. Traditionally, a thriller builds momentum while concealing just enough truth to keep viewers on the edge of their seats, all while maintaining a level of adrenaline that leaves audiences hooked. When the conclusion finally arrives, the viewer is either rewarded with a satisfying payoff or left with an even greater sense of perplexity.

Do you prefer cozy British whodunits, staple American television with the FBI involved, or a fresh take on the classic literary character, Sherlock Holmes? Withthese detective shows that will keep you hooked from start to finish, you'll find all of these and more. You might even discover new shows you haven't heard of before or be reminded of something you've had on your watchlist for a while.

When it comes to crime thrillers, few stars have had as much success in the last 10 years in a single role as Titus Welliver. The role is, of course, Harry Bosch, who he first played in the Prime Video original cop drama that ran for seven seasons between 2014 and 2021. The year after Bosch went off the air, Welliver returned as the titular character in a new series, Bosch: Legacy, which was also beloved by Bosch fans around the world. Bosch: Legacy was tragically canceled after only three seasons, but Welliver has since reprised his role in the spin-off show, Ballard, which has been picked up for Season 2. Welliver’s future as Bosch is up in the air at this time, but good news for Bosch fans: he’s got a brand-new crime thriller set to release before the end of the summer.
