Amazon is excited to announce that Daniel Pyne (Fracture, Alcatraz), an Executive Producer of the Emmy-nominated Amazon Original Series BOSCH, is adding showrunner to his job description, taking over day to day duties from Eric Overmyer. Overmyer will remain an Executive Producer on BOSCH and is taking over showrunner duties on The Man in the High Castle. Joining BOSCH as an Executive Producer is John Mankiewicz (House of Cards, House), a frequent collaborator of Pyne's.

Among Pyne's film credits are The Manchurian Candidate, Pacific Heights, Sum of All Fears, and Fracture. He made his directorial debut with the indie cult film Where's Marlowe?, which he co-wrote with Mankiewicz. Together, they also created and produced The Street, a Syndicated police procedural starring Stanley Tucci, and The Marshal. Pyne's television work includes Alcatraz and Miami Vice, on which he and Mankiewicz first worked together. Pyne's new novel, Catalina Eddy, will be released in March.

Mankiewicz is a screen and television writer who has served as an Executive Producer on House of Cards for the last four seasons. His credits include Miami Vice, Tales From The Crypt and The Mentalist. As a journalist, he has written for Rolling Stone, Esquire and, most recently The New Yorker. His screenplay adaptation of Joyce Carol Oates' novella Rape: A Love Story, starring Nicolas Cage, will be released in 2017.

Based on the best-selling Michael Connelly novels, BOSCH is currently in production on season three, and recently announced a fourth season pickup.
