After her on-screen appearance in the Bosch: Legacy series finale, Maggie Q’s (The Protoge, Designated Survivor) Renee Ballard is primed for her close-up this summer. Prime Video announced Ballard will arrive on its platform on July 9. All 10 episodes will be available in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide.
Based on the character created by Michael Connelly (Nightshade, The Waiting) the series will follow LAPD’s Detective Ballard as she revamps the station’s underfunded cold case division. As previewed in the season three finale of Bosch: Legacy, Ballard will tackle long-forgotten crimes and their victims with empathy and relentless determination. Her fight for justice will soon uncover a larger conspiracy within her ranks, which will require assistance from retired officer and PI, Harry Bosch, played by Titus Welliver (Ricky, Lost).
“I’m beyond excited about sharing this show,” said Connelly via the press release. “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.”
Connelly serves as an executive producer on the series along with Michael Alaimo (The Closer, The Man Who Fell to Earth) and Kendall Sherwood (Major Crimes, The Code).
“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,” added 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.”
The cast is rounded out with Hector Hugo (The Iceman, Snowfall), Courtney Taylor (Abbott Elementary, Insecure), John Carroll Lynch (Elsbeth, Evil), Rebecca Field (The Residence, A Star is Born), Vicotria Moroles (Teen Wolf, The Middle), Michael Mosley (Ozark, The Calling), Amy Hill (Lilo & Stitch, Big City Greens), Noah Bean (Nikita, 12 Monkeys), Alain Uy (The Cleaning Lady, Blue Eye Samurai), and Ricardo Chavira (Scandal, Desperate Housewives).
Additional executive producers include Henrik Bastin (Bosch: Legacy, Interrogation) and Trish Hofmann (The Dark Tower, Gringo). Co-executive producers are Fabel Entertainment’s Jasmine Russ (Bosch, Season); Hieronymus Pictures’ Theresa Snider (The Safe Man, Bosch: Legacy); and Trey Batchelor (Longmire, Safe House) and Jamie Boscardin Martin (Old Dads, Circle of Eight).
