After his successful performance in the series "Bosch," Titus Welliver is preparing to return to the screen with a new show. This crime drama titled "The Westies" will be released on the MGM+ platform on July 12. Welliver will share the lead role with Oscar-winning J.K. Simmons, as the duo portrays two childhood friends whose paths cross in 1980s New York. One is a cop, while the other is a gangster, and this story offers a blend of atmospheres reminiscent of "Mystic River" and "The Sopranos."

The creators of the series, Chris Brancato and Michael Panes, are known for their work on successful projects like "Narcos" and "Godfather of Harlem." Brancato is recognized as the creator of Netflix's hit series "Narcos," while Panes has transitioned from acting to writing. "The Westies" not only presents viewers with a new crime story but also marks an important step in Welliver's career.

The story of the series revolves around the tensions between Irish and Italian gangs in Hell's Kitchen. Following the third season of "Bosch: Legacy," Welliver is making the transition to this project, while Simmons has recently appeared in productions like "Die Hart" and "Defending Jacob." "The Westies" promises to deliver an unforgettable crime drama experience, opening a new chapter in Welliver's career with this new project. The series, set to air on the MGM+ platform, will be a must-watch for fans of crime dramas.
