On August 14, 2025, Titus Welliver, star of Bosch: Legacy, sent fans into a frenzy by sharing his exhilarating experience working with Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, who plays Mickey Haller in The Lincoln Lawyer, in a highly anticipated crossover event. In an exclusive interview with Collider, Welliver described the collaboration as “truly phenomenal,” praising Garcia-Rulfo’s energy and hinting at an explosive on-screen partnership between Harry Bosch and his half-brother Mickey Haller. The announcement, amplified on X, has sparked excitement for a project set to unite two of Michael Connelly’s iconic characters.
The crossover, titled Bosch & The Lincoln Lawyer: Justice in the Balance, is a 10-episode limited series slated for release on Netflix and Prime Video in mid-2026, per todaycnews.com. Welliver, 64, called working with Garcia-Rulfo, 44, a “highlight of my career,” citing their shared commitment to authenticity. “Manuel brings such passion to Mickey; it’s electric,” he said, describing their scenes as a blend of courtroom drama and gritty detective work. Fans on X erupted, with posts like, “Bosch and Haller together? I’m screaming!” and “Titus and Manuel are gonna kill it!”
The series sees Bosch, a tenacious ex-LAPD detective, teaming up with Haller, the charismatic defense attorney, to tackle a high-stakes case involving a corrupt police conspiracy. Despite being on rival platforms—Bosch: Legacy on Prime Video and The Lincoln Lawyer on Netflix—the studios struck a rare deal, as noted by TV Insider. Welliver teased, “The chemistry between Harry and Mickey is intense; it’s like they’ve always known each other.” This marks the first on-screen meeting of the half-brothers, a dynamic long explored in Connelly’s novels like The Brass Verdict.
Behind-the-scenes glimpses, including a May 2024 Instagram post by Connelly showing Welliver and Garcia-Rulfo together, fueled anticipation. “When Harry met Mickey!” Connelly captioned, per cartermatt.com. Welliver’s enthusiasm echoes Garcia-Rulfo’s earlier comments to Collider, where he expressed a desire for a crossover, saying, “Working with Titus was a dream.” Their mutual respect has fans buzzing, with @BoschFan22 tweeting, “This is the team-up we’ve waited for!”
As Justice in the Balance promises to deliver thrilling drama, Welliver’s glowing remarks about Garcia-Rulfo signal a collaboration that will captivate audiences. With production underway, this crossover is set to be a landmark moment for Connelly’s universe, leaving fans eagerly awaiting a brotherly showdown.
