The ‘Bosch‘ TV universe continues to grow, as Prime Video unveils its next chapter with ‘Ballard‘, a new series arriving this July and starring Maggie Q (Nikita, Designated Survivor) as LAPD Detective Renée Ballard.
Ballard continues to bring Michael Connelly’s bestselling novels to life, following Detective Renée Ballard (Q) as she leads the LAPD’s new and underfunded cold case division, tackling the city’s most challenging long-forgotten crimes with empathy and relentless determination. As she peels back layers of crimes spanning decades, including a serial killer’s string of murders and a murdered John Doe, she soon uncovers a dangerous conspiracy within the LAPD. With the help of her volunteer team and retired detective Harry Bosch (Titus Welliver), Detective Ballard navigates personal trauma, professional challenges, and life-threatening dangers to expose the truth.
“I’m beyond excited about sharing this show,” said Connelly, who also executive produces the series. “I’ve seen it and know how good it is, and how Maggie Q absolutely captures the character of Renee Ballard. Great writing, acting, directing and production, throw in a few surprise appearances, and I think this show is going to be a fan favorite.”
The series also stars Courtney Taylor (Insecure), John Carroll Lynch (American Horror Story, The Founder), Michael Mosley (Ozark, Seven Seconds), Rebecca Field (A Star is Born, Rizzoli & Isles), Victoria Moroles (Teen Wolf, Plan B), Amy Hill (Magnum P.I., All-American Girl), Ricardo Chavira (Desperate Housewives, Selena: The Series), Noah Bean (12 Monkeys, Nikita), Alain Uy (Helstrom, The Cleaning Lady), and Hector Hugo (The Rookie, Perry Mason).
“You don’t often get the chance to work with such a talented group of people and help create something as special as this show,” said executive producers Michael Alaimo and Kendall Sherwood. “Ballard is gritty, emotional, and grounded, with that layered storytelling that makes Michael Connelly’s world so compelling. We’re really excited to expand that universe and introduce Renée in a way that feels fresh but still true to the spirit of the franchise. Her journey is just getting started, and we can’t wait for everyone to meet her.”
Ballard is executive produced by Michael Connelly, Henrik Bastin, Michael Alaimo, Kendall Sherwood, and Trish Hofmann. Jasmine Russ serves as co-executive producer under Fabel Entertainment. Jamie Boscardin Martin and Trey Batchelor also serve as co-executive producers. Theresa Snider serves as co-executive producer for Hieronymus Pictures.
‘Ballard‘ Season 1 premieres Wednesday, 9th July 2025 on Prime Video in the UK and more than 240 countries and territories worldwide.
