Titus Welliver will always be synonymous with Harry Bosch. Over a decade, the actor deftly embodied the relentless detective, turning the character into one of the most loved crime-drama protagonists of the streaming era. It's little surprise that fans would have happily followed Bosch's story for years to come, especially with Michael Connelly's extensive bibliography offering ample adaptable material. Sadly, Bosch: Legacy came to an abrupt end in 2025, a decision that disappointed both audiences and Welliver himself, who has repeatedly spoken about the lack of closure surrounding Harry Bosch's story. While the actor remains hopeful that the character will make a major return in some form, another project from his post-Bosch career is getting a new release.
Welliver has hardly slowed down since Bosch: Legacy ended. The actor recently returned to familiar territory with MGM+'s The Westies, playing a police officer navigating the violent streets of 1980s Hell's Kitchen. He's also remained equally active on the big screen, appearing in Killing Castro (2026) and set to co-star with Liam Neeson later this year for the crime thriller The Fix. However, it is another of Welliver's recent film projects, his first leading movie role after Bosch, that is suddenly back in the spotlight, giving fans a fresh chance to discover a stellar performance they may have overlooked the first time around.
In a marked departure from the hard-boiled lawmen he's known for, Welliver led the 2025 horror film Abraham's Boys, playing legendary vampire hunter Abraham Van Helsing in the Joe Hill adaptation that serves as a follow-up to Bram Stoker's Dracula. The film, which earned only a modest box office return, made its streaming debut on Hulu last month, and now, it's set for a second life on home media, signaling a growing quiet interest in the project. Coming exactly a year after its theatrical release, Shudder has announced a two-disc 4K Blu-ray edition arriving on August 25, complete with HDR presentation, a booklet featuring new writing by Heidi Honeycutt, a video introduction from Hill, and audio commentaries from the film's creative team.
What Is 'Abraham's Boys' About?
Written and directed by Natasha Kermani (V/H/S/85), Abraham's Boys offers a very different take on the legendary vampire hunter. The film follows Abraham Van Helsing as he raises his two sons under strict rules designed to protect them, but as the boys begin uncovering the truth about their father's past, their family's carefully controlled world starts to unravel.
Rather than delivering the fast-paced vampire-hunting adventure audiences may have expected, the film takes a more psychological approach, exploring the mind of a man consumed by his pursuit of monsters and the toll that obsession takes on those closest to him. That creative departure divided critics and audience, with some criticizing the film's slow-burn approach and feeling it lacked the thrills associated with the Van Helsing legacy.
However, amidst those reservations, there was unanimous approval of Welliver's performance being one of the film's strongest elements. Now, with Shudder giving Abraham's Boys a premium physical release, the film may have an opportunity to find an audience that appreciates what it was attempting to do rather than what they expected it to be.
Abraham's Boys 4K Blu-ray hits the shelves on August 25.
