Prime Video has renewed the Bosch spin-off Ballard for a second season, with Maggie Q reprising her role as Detective Renée Ballard.

“We are excited to share that the Bosch universe will continue to expand with a second season of Ballard for our global Prime Video customers,” said Lauren Lancaster, head of U.S. SVOD TV development, series and co-productions for Amazon MGM Studios. “The audience response to Ballard has been phenomenal, resonating with audiences worldwide thanks to its gripping storytelling and outstanding performances from Maggie Q and the entire cast. We can’t wait for fans to experience everything season two has in store.”

Based on Michael Connelly’s best-selling novels featuring LAPD Detective Renée Ballard, the series follows the titular officer as she fights to earn respect in the ranks of the Cold Case Unit.

“We’re so grateful to have the chance to continue Ballard’s story,” commented Michael Alaimo and Kendall Sherwood, co-showrunners and executive producers. “It’s a pleasure to dive deeper into these characters and this world, and seeing audiences resonate with their stories is incredibly rewarding. We get to work with such a talented, dedicated team who bring this universe to life—and we’re thrilled to be able to continue doing just that. Can’t wait for everyone to see what we’ve cooked up!”

Connelly added, “It’s a great privilege to have my characters brought to life on screen season after season, and it’s thanks to the fans continuing to tune in that we’re able to do so. I’m especially grateful to Maggie Q for embodying Renée so perfectly, honoring the character as we take her into the next stage of her journey.”

Season two is being executive produced by Connelly, Alaimo, Sherwood, Henrik Bastin, Jasmine Russ, and Trish Hofmann. Theresa Snider serves as co-executive producer for Hieronymus Pictures.
