Ballard leads the LAPD\u2019s new and underfunded cold case division with the help of a volunteer team and retired detective Harry Bosch while navigating her own personal trauma.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p><em>Ballard<\/em> 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.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m beyond excited about sharing this show,\u201d Connelly said. \u201cI\u2019ve seen it and know how good it is and how Maggie Q absolutely captures the character of Ren\u00e9e 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.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou don\u2019t often get the chance to work with such a talented group of people and help create something as special as this show,\u201d said executive producers Alaimo and Sherwood. \u201c<em>Ballard<\/em> is gritty, emotional and grounded, with that layered storytelling that makes Michael Connelly\u2019s world so compelling. We\u2019re really excited to expand that universe and introduce Ren\u00e9e in a way that feels fresh but still true to the spirit of the franchise. Her journey is just getting started, and we can\u2019t wait for everyone to meet her.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1412,"featured_media":22703,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[10688,669,10689,10690,10691,10692],"class_list":["post-22698","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-ballard","tag-bosch","tag-kendall-sherwood","tag-maggie-q","tag-michael-alaimo","tag-michael-connelly","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Prime Video Slates Bosch Spinoff Ballard - TVDRAMA<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/prime-video-slates-bosch-spinoff-ballard\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Prime Video Slates Bosch Spinoff Ballard - TVDRAMA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"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.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/prime-video-slates-bosch-spinoff-ballard\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVDRAMA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2025-05-23T13:00:55+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2025-05-23T14:03:20+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/05\/PrimeVideo-Ballard-0525.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"640\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"394\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Jamie Stalcup\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Jamie Stalcup\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/prime-video-slates-bosch-spinoff-ballard\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/prime-video-slates-bosch-spinoff-ballard\/\",\"name\":\"Prime Video Slates Bosch Spinoff Ballard - TVDRAMA\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2025-05-23T13:00:55+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2025-05-23T14:03:20+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#\/schema\/person\/0da12602224807cc7b179b8405018deb\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/prime-video-slates-bosch-spinoff-ballard\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/prime-video-slates-bosch-spinoff-ballard\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/prime-video-slates-bosch-spinoff-ballard\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Prime Video Slates Bosch Spinoff Ballard\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/\",\"name\":\"TVDRAMA\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#\/schema\/person\/0da12602224807cc7b179b8405018deb\",\"name\":\"Jamie Stalcup\",\"description\":\"Jamie Stalcup is the executive editor of World Screen.
