LOS ANGELES, JUL 7 – Michael Connelly's Bosch franchise continues with a new spinoff starring Renée Ballard and a separate adaptation of Washington Black, premiering in July 2025 on major networks.
- Prime Video premieres the new police drama Ballard starring Maggie Q as Detective Renée Ballard on July 9, 2025, set in Los Angeles.
- Ballard is a spinoff of Bosch, introduced in Bosch: Legacy earlier this year, continuing Michael Connelly's universe with Titus Welliver reprising Bosch.
- The series follows Ballard leading the LAPD's cold case division, navigating underfunding, uncovering police corruption, and hunting a ruthless serial killer.
- Titus Welliver symbolically passed his franchise lead role to Maggie Q, telling her, “Here we go,” while training her for the specific demands of homicide detective work.
- Ballard’s debut offers fans a fresh perspective on Connelly’s crime world but will not crossover with The Lincoln Lawyer despite shared literary origins and parallel Netflix and Amazon studios.
