Michael Connelly Says Amazon Eyeing 'Lincoln Lawyer' TV Show That CBS 'Killed' (Exclusive)

The author says a deal with Amazon would give the streamer the author's complete"universe" to add to police procedural drama 'Bosch.', its high-profile legal drama from David E. Kelley, but Michael Connelly – whose bestselling novels the project is based on – says the show has other potential suitors in the works.

"The good thing is there's there appears to be people, networks and so forth that want to just step in and take it," the author told the newly-launched Connelly also confirmed that Amazon was among those he was talking to, adding such a deal would give the streamer the opportunity to eventually blend , also created by Connelly and now onto its sixth season.

"And to me that is a good sales pitch. Because then you could have these people and the universe. Yeah, you could have people crossing paths and all that kind of stuff. It'd be fun to do."'s collapse at CBS, Connelly blamed the coronavirus crisis, saying that the production team was two days away from filming before the town in which it was due to shoot shut down.

"And then, a month later, [CBS] decided not to go forward with it," he said, claiming that the show was different from standard "network fare" in that it was going to be serialized rather than episodic. "So it was a bit risky for them and they decided, in this environment, to not do any risky programming and so they killed it, basically," he added. "It was a shock. I mean, we had actors set, we had directors set, we had sets being built. It was right on the precipice of becoming a reality when this happened. So it's very disappointing."

Connellybooks I enjoyed the movie, Never read the book, but followed the TV show until it ended. This would be great to see it revived at Amazon or Netflix!!

Great to hear. Loved The Lincoln Lawyer. Finding someone to fill Mathew McConaughy’s shoes will be the biggest challenge. He embodied the character of Mickey Haller! Thrilled it will run on Amazon.
