Ballard is a Prime Video crime procedural that expands Michael Connelly's popular Bosch television universe, spinning off the character of Detective Renee Ballard into her own series. Maggie Q stars as Ballard, a tenacious LAPD detective who is placed in charge of the department's under-resourced and understaffed cold case unit, tasked with reopening old murders that the rest of the force has forgotten. The series continues the grounded, procedural realism that made Bosch and its successor Bosch: Legacy long-running favorites.

Working out of a cramped basement with a team of volunteers and reserve officers, Ballard pursues a sprawling web of cold cases even as she navigates institutional resistance and a dangerous conspiracy inside the department itself. Maggie Q brings physical credibility and steely determination to the role, and the series folds in a connection to the wider Bosch world, including an appearance by Titus Welliver's Harry Bosch, rewarding longtime fans while standing on its own.

Premiering on Prime Video in July 2025, Ballard drew a strong audience and was quickly renewed for a second season, extending one of streaming's most durable crime franchises. Anchored by Maggie Q's commanding lead performance and Connelly's meticulous plotting, it streams on Prime Video.
