Prime Video Slates Bosch Spinoff Ballard

Ballard, the latest series in the Bosch franchise, is set to bow on Prime Video on July 9, with all ten episodes dropping at once.

The new series continues to bring Michael Connelly’s best-selling novels to life, but this time centering on Detective Renée Ballard, played by Maggie Q. Ballard leads the LAPD’s new and underfunded cold case division with the help of a volunteer team and retired detective Harry Bosch while navigating her own personal trauma.

In addition to Q, the cast features Courtney Taylor, John Carroll Lynch, Michael Mosley, Rebecca Field, Victoria Moroles, Amy Hill, Ricardo Chavira, Noah Bean, Alain Uy and Hector Hugo.

Ballard is executive produced by Connelly, Henrik Bastin, Michael Alaimo, Kendall Sherwood and Trish Hofmann. Jasmine Russ serves as co-executive producer under Fabel Entertainment, while Theresa Snider serves as co-executive producer for Hieronymus Pictures. Jamie Boscardin Martin and Trey Batchelor also serve as co-executive producers.

“I’m beyond excited about sharing this show,” Connelly said. “I’ve seen it and know how good it is and how Maggie Q absolutely captures the character of Renée 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.”

“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 Alaimo and 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.”
