Ballard is a Amazon Prime Video series set to premiere on July 9, 2025, bringing a fresh perspective to the acclaimed Bosch universe. With all 10 episodes dropping at once, this gripping crime drama, police procedurals and Michael Connelly’s bestselling novels alike.
Tracklist
At the heart of Ballard is Detective Renée Ballard, portrayed by Maggie Q, a dedicated LAPD officer tasked with leading the department’s newly formed cold case unit. Unlike typical divisions, Ballard’s team is underfunded and comprised entirely of volunteers, making their mission to solve Los Angeles most forgotten crimes even more challenging.
Ballard’s investigations dive into decades-old mysteries, including a chilling serial killer case and the murder of a John Doe. As she peels back the layers of these cold cases, Ballard uncovers a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep within the LAPD itself. The series stands out for its focus on empathy and relentless determination, with Ballard giving a voice to victims who have long been overlooked.
Retired detective Harry Bosch (Titus Welliver) returns to assist Ballard, creating a compelling partnership that bridges the old and new guard of Connelly’s universe. Together, they navigate personal trauma, professional obstacles, and life-threatening dangers in their pursuit of justice.
Ballard cast: Courtney Taylor, John Carroll Lynch, Michael Mosley, Rebecca Field, Victoria Moroles, Amy Hill, Ricardo Chavira, Noah Bean, Alain Uy, and Hector Hugo. The series is created and written by Kendall Sherwood, with showrunning duties shared by Sherwood and Michael Alaimo. Direction comes from Jet Wilkinson, Sarah Boyd, Tori Garrett, and Jon Huertas.
