The project is based on Roush's blog of the same name with showrunner Brad Copeland, director Chris Koch and Underground Films' Trevor Engelson also serving as executive producers and Tony Hernandez as a co-executive producer.

Eric Overmeyer ("Treme") penned the hour alongside Connelly with Fabrik Entertainment's Henrik Bastin and Mikkel Bondesen also among the executive producers. The most recent Bosch novel, "The Black Box," was released last fall. (Deadline.com)
