Chris is a Senior News Writer for Collider. He can be found in an IMAX screen, with his eyes watering and his ears bleeding for his own pleasure. He joined the news team in 2022 and accidentally fell upwards into a senior position despite his best efforts.

For reasons unknown, he enjoys analyzing box office receipts, giant sharks, and has become known as the go-to man for all things Bosch, Mission: Impossible and Christopher Nolan in Collider's news division. Recently, he found himself yeehawing along to the Dutton saga on the Yellowstone Ranch.

He is proficient in sarcasm, wit, Photoshop and working unfeasibly long hours. Amongst his passions sit the likes of the history of the Walt Disney Company, the construction of theme parks, steam trains and binge-watching Gilmore Girls with a coffee that is just hot enough to scald him.

His obsession with the Apple TV+ series Silo is the subject of mockery within the Senior News channel, where his feelings about Taylor Sheridan's work are enough to make his fellow writers roll their eyes.

Amazon may have ended Bosch: Legacy, but it has not exactly stopped chasing that lane. The streamer still knows there is a big appetite for grim, adult-skewing crime drama, especially the kind built around one bruised detective and a city full of wealthy people doing ugly things behind closed doors. That is a big part of why Bishop already feels like one of Prime Video’s more interesting drama bets, even before cameras really get moving.

Now the cast has gotten even more high-profile. According to Deadline, Jordana Brewster has joined Bishop as a lead opposite Joel Kinnaman, John Malkovich, and Jennifer Jason Leigh in the upcoming Prime Video thriller from co-creators Little Marvin and Tony Saltzman.

The premise sounds very much like the sort of morally murky detective saga Prime viewers already tend to show up for. In Bishop, Kinnaman plays Bishop Graves, a “brilliant, battle-scarred” homicide detective hunting an elusive killer who is targeting San Francisco’s wealthy elite. As the murders become bolder and begin attracting followers among the city’s powerless, Bishop starts to suspect the crimes may connect back to the city’s most powerful man — his own father, Lincoln Graves, played by Malkovich. And that's where the Bosch comparisons make sense, because it's not that Bishop is a carbon copy of the Titus Welliver juggernaut, but it's clearly aimed at a similar audience: viewers who like their crime shows tough, character-driven, and a little weathered.
