Brainerd Dispatch • June 20 - 26, 2021 •19 By Raye Smith TV Media WHAT'S NEW ON PRIME "Bosch"- Season 7 The Amazon Original hit series "Bosch" is returning to Prime with its seventh and final season on Fri - day, June 25. This police procedural, which first premiered in 2014 and follows LAPD Det. Harry Bosch (Ti- tus Welliver, "Argo," 2012), returns for one more ride-along before saying goodbye to fans. With each season based off novels by bestsell - ing American crime author Michael Connelly, Bosch works tirelessly to solve some of the hardest and most chilling cases, all while dealing with the biased and sometimes back - ward police system as well as the criminals he needs to catch. Creator and showrunner Eric Ellis Overmyer ("Law & Order") co-wrote the series with Connelly, bringing the original feel of the books to life. Also returning are Bosch's co-stars, including Jamie Hector ("The Wire"), Amy Aquino ("ER"), Lance Reddick ("John Wick," 2014), Mad - dison Lintz ("The Walking Dead") and Troy Evans ("ER"). As one of Amazon's very first original series, the show is also Prime's longest running original series to date. "September Mornings" The brand new Brazilian miniseries "September Mornings" is set to release on Prime on Friday, June 25. Made up of five 30-minute episodes, this drama follows the story of Cassandra, a trans woman living in Sao Paulo and portrayed by Brazilian singer-songwriter Liniker, as her dreams are halted when she learns she might have a son. Having been abandoned by her own mother, Cassandra deals with complicated feelings around hav- ing a child of her own, especially considering that the prejudice she encounters as a trans woman has been difficult enough to begin with. Dramatic and moving, the series takes audiences through the chal- lenges of parenting, abandonment and acceptance. Starring alongside Liniker in the series are Thomas Aquino ("Thirteen Days Away from the Sun"), Gero Camilo ("Man on Fire," 2004), Elisa Lucinda ("Wom- en in Love"), Paulo Miklos ("The Trespasser," 2001), Isabela Ordoñez ("Thirteen Days Away from the Sun") and Karine Teles ("Loveling," 2018), as well as Dante Agenju, Gustavo Coelho and Clodd Dias in their screen debuts. Directed by Luis Pinheiro ("Mulheres Alteradas," 2018) and Dainara Toffoli ("Mar de Dentro," 2020), the series is written by Alice Marcone ("Noturnos"), Marcelo Montenegro ("3%"), Josefina Trotta ("Darkness by Day," 2013) and Carla Meirelles ("Blue Desert," 2013).

Easton, this new se- ries follows Billie (Sarah Shahi, "The Rookie"), a suburban mother of two, as she goes on a raunchy trip down memory lane when her bad- boy ex-boyfriend (whom she can't stop thinking about) bursts back into her life unexpectedly.

Once Lucy becomes pregnant, she begins to notice something sinister about their doctor and sets out to uncover the disturbing reality.
