- Guerra will play Rosa, a rookie LAPD officer and native Angeleno who brings uncommon maturity and street smarts to the job. Raised in the neighborhoods she patrols, she represents a new generation of cops in a post-Rodney King city. Beneath her confidence is a deep insecurity - shaped by a young pregnancy, a failed first career, and the pressure of providing for her child. During her probationary year, a budding romance with Bosch (Monaghan) threatens her credibility, forcing Rosa to prove she can finish what she starts.
- Pardo will play Cory, a brilliant, disciplined professional thief whose calm precision was forged in the foster system, where he learned early how to read people, anticipate danger, and stay in control. Raised alongside his younger surrogate brother, Bosch, Cory developed a fierce loyalty to the family he chose. Confident, calculating, and methodical, he acts as provider and protector - every job is a step toward mastering the chaos that shaped him, and earning a way out of Los Angeles.
