Amazon taps X-Files creator, The Wire writer for two new original shows Oct 31st 2013, 17:49, by Jared Newman Amazon is set to make a bigger push into original programming with the help of some TV veterans. The online retailer will greenlight two new pilots for its Amazon Prime Instant Video service (shown above). Both shows will be hour-long dramas—a first for Amazon's TV pilot program. Bosch will be a crime drama, based on the Harry Bosch book series by Michael Connelly. The series "follows a relentless LAPD homicide detective as he pursues the killer of a 13-year-old boy while standing trial in federal court on accusations that he murdered a suspected serial killer in cold blood," according to Amazon. Michael Connelly, author of the Harry Bosch mysteries Connelly, whose novel The Lincoln Lawyer has received the film treatment already, will co-write Bosch along with Eric Overmyer, whose writing credits include Law & Order, Treme, and The Wire. Titus Welliver, who TV buffs will recognize as The Man in Black from Lost, will take the lead role.
