Prime Video has greenlit a new Bosch-like crime drama series called Bishop, which will star Jordana Brewster, Joel Kinnaman, John Malkovich, and Jennifer Jason Leigh. The series follows a brilliant but battle-scarred homicide detective named Bishop Graves who is hunting an elusive killer targeting San Francisco's wealthy elite. As the murders become bolder and attract followers among the city's powerless, Bishop begins to suspect the crimes may connect back to the city's most powerful man - his own father, Lincoln Graves, played by Malkovich.

Why it matters

Prime Video is continuing to invest in grim, adult-skewing crime dramas that have found success with shows like Bosch. Bishop aims to tap into the same audience by offering a morally murky detective saga set in the wealthy enclaves of San Francisco.
