Maggie Q's new project unveiled as fans demand season 2 of Prime Video's Ballard
Ballard star Maggie Q has been hailed as "absolutely fire" by avid viewers, yet she's already immersed in her next venture.
The Bosch franchise creator Michael Connelly, who also penned Netflix's The Lincoln Lawyer, is the mastermind behind the new series Ballard, which shares the same fictional universe.
Since its debut last week, fans have been captivated by the character of Ballard (portrayed by Maggie Q), an LAPD detective at the helm of the cold cases division, navigating professional tribulations.
Social media has been abuzz with praise for the 46-year-old actress's portrayal, with numerous fans extolling her as "fabulous" and an "incredible star".
Amidst the buzz surrounding the Bosch Legacy offshoot, Q has shifted her focus to a forthcoming project.
Her IMDb page reveals that she's set to appear in the soon-to-be-produced series Can't Go Home.
The crime thriller's synopsis hints at a gripping tale centred around "fugitive recovery agents Tom Desjadon and his partner KD Williams W.H.O. are in too deep."
Set against the backdrop of Boston's criminal underbelly, the narrative follows two intrepid bounty hunters who opt for a life riddled with deceit and dread to evade retribution.
Tom Mariano will embody Desjadon, while Jennifer Garner, renowned for roles in Alias, Juno, 13 Going on 30, and Daredevil, will play Williams.
Q's role as Cam remains shrouded in mystery, with details of her involvement in the thriller yet to be disclosed.
An official release date for Can't Go Home hasn't been confirmed yet, but it's anticipated to premiere later this year on Prime Video.
As of now, there's no word on whether Q will return as Detective Ballard for a second series of Ballard.
However, considering the show has garnered an impressive 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and received high praise on social media, it's probable that we'll see more from the programme.

Mirror's Daily Digest - top five stories you need to read tonight
In this Thursday's Mirror Daily Digest, we've pulled together the biggest stories of the day - from a 'bullied' Prince Harry to a major change for who can vote in UK general elections Welcome to the Mirror's Daily Digest, where we'll be pulling together all the best stories of the day from our News, Showbiz, Sport teams and more. This Thursday, we're featuring everything from a bombshell interview where an unexpected royal admits she "feels sorry" for Prince Harry, to Olly Murs saying his body-shaming went 'too far'. Elsewhere the Mirror's Deputy Political Editor Mikey Smith lists five unhinged Donald Trump moments as Epstein row takes an unexpected twist, and there's also the chance to meet a British man left amazed after trying the cheapest full English in Benidorm. To round things up, we bring you the shocking story of a poor mum who's getting trolled for sharing videos of her 'giant' baby online. Prince Harry has been 'bullied' says Princess who feels sorry for him An unexpected royal has admitted she "feels sorry" for Prince Harry in a bombshell interview. The Duke of Sussex is currently embroiled in a bitter rift with his father, King Charles and brother Prince William after levelling a series of accusations against them in his Netflix show and memoir, Spare. However, hopes of a reconciliation between Harry and his dad, the King, have been sparked after senior aides for father and son were spotted meeting at a private members' club in London. But discussing Harry's situation on a podcast was Princess Delphine of Belgium, who claimed she 'understands' the Duke's plight and said that "everyone is bullying him". The princess herself has also experienced family turmoil as she is the illegitimate daughter of Belgium's former monarch, King Albert II. A DNA test proved her paternity, and she later won a landmark ruling to be called a princess and styled as "Her Royal Highness". Olly Murs says his body-shaming went 'too far' after backlash over new body When new dad Olly Murs proudly showed off the results of a 12 week health kick, the last thing he expected was a vicious bodyshaming backlash. Cruelly, he was told women preferred his 'huggable dad bod' to his new honed physique, and he was told his muscles made him look 'aged and too lean'. But after three months of 'beast mode' weight training and boxing sessions to get him fighting fit for his current tour, Olly says, defiantly: 'I'm in the best shape of my life in my 40s.' The singer explains: 'I didn't get my body out there for people to judge it - I was just doing it for my own tour, and for my own laughs with my fans, and for looking good. I wanted to feel good. I wanted to represent myself at 40 on the biggest tour of my life, celebrating 15 years and being the healthiest and the fittest I could be.' 5 unhinged Donald Trump moments as Epstein row takes unexpected twist What's going on with my 'guys', and in some cases, 'gals'? Last night there was a twist in the Epstein row that nobody expected - and it's really unclear how it'll shake out. Meanwhile, Trump continued to call his most active supporters "stupid". And he's so determined to reduce the trade deficit with Mexico that he's convinced Coca-Cola to use real sugar - despite howls of protest from farmers. Here's all that, plus more things that happened in Trump world overnight ... 'I tried cheapest full English in Benidorm and I was left amazed' A British man was 'amazed' after trying the 'cheapest' full English breakfast available in Benidorm for less than £4. The Spanish municipality, based in the province of Alicante, is a firm favourite holiday destination for many British residents and Louis Grier is no exception. In fact, the 32-year-old has made the sunny seaside hotspot his home. Recently, Louis was impressed after spotting the iconic full English breakfast on offer for the low price of £3.90. He regularly updates his 43.2K TikTok followers on his life in Benidorm, sharing his experiences and tips for those looking to holiday or move there for themselves. In a recent video, which has so far pulled in more than 58K views, Louis ventured to Mariano's, a popular and well known restaurant in Benidorm, where he was keen to try the venue's take on the legendary full English breakfast. Mum of giant baby that weighs 22lb accused of child abuse by sick trolls A mum has been trolled for sharing videos of her "giant" baby that weighs a whopping 22lb at just four months old - but doctors insist he's healthy. Maci Mugele has shared clips of the baby - that some have branded "chunky" - on TikTok to songs like the I Like Them Chunky song by Users have accused the mum of "child abuse" while others have called the baby "cute". Gunner weighed 8lb 1oz and measured 19.5 inches tall when he was born on February 19 but has since shot up to 22lb 8oz and now measures two-and-a-half feet long. The 21-year-old says that Gunner measured big throughout her pregnancy and continues to "eat more than the average baby".

Real life version of Netflix's Untamed is ‘must see TV for true crime fans'
Fans of the genre will be instantly hooked The real life version of Netflix's new crime drama is said to be 'must see TV for true crime fans'. Untamed has only just been released on the major streaming platform and is already gaining positive reception from fans and critics alike. It has been dubbed as the best show of 2025 so far by some reviewers, while others have said it is perfect for fans of Yellowstone and American Primeval. A six-part limited series, the show stars Eric Bana as Kyle Turner, a special agent for the National Parks Service who works to enforce human law in nature's vast wilderness. He launches an investigation into the mysterious death of a young woman which sends him on a collision course with the dark secrets within the park, and in his own past. What might surprise viewers is that Bana's character's job is a real occupation in the United States. There really are dedicated officers, who investigate serious crimes that occur in one of the country's National Parks. They are also referred to as the ISB. According to the National Parks Service website: "The special agents of the National Park Service Investigative Services Branch (ISB) are a specialised and highly trained team of criminal investigators. Together with program and victim support specialists as well as an intelligence analyst, the team works year-round and around the clock to investigate complex, sensitive, and long-term cases for crimes throughout the national park system. ISB personnel are stationed among America's more than 420 national parks and report directly to NPS headquarters in Washington, D.C." Untamed isn't the first series that have focused on these investigations. Wild Crime, is a docuseries currently available to stream on Disney+ that "chronicles this uniquely qualified team that leads the investigations as they seek to bring law and order to some of America's most rugged and remote landscapes." All four seasons are currently streaming and each tackles a different case. Season one opens with Harold Henthor's 911 call to report that his wife Toni has been gravely injured after falling off of a cliff on a remote trail. However, the investigation unearths that there may be to this accident and soon examines Henthor's first wife and more. In its second season, a hand is found in Yosemite. A serial killer confesses but he's lied about committing hundreds of murders--is this one real, or a false confession? In the third instalment, the series retells the case of Meredith Emerson, who went for a hike on a trail in Pisgah National Park and never returned. Was she injured, abducted, or the victim of a serial killer who stalked National Parks? Then a woman goes missing from a National Forest in Florida, a couple vanish in a National Forest in North Carolina, and a young woman disappears from a National Forest in Georgia. Are the cases connected? Wild Crime's fourth season picks up after an Alaska barista goes missing along with some cash. Surveillance video shows her walking away with a man. A text sent from her phone says she needs time to think but her dad is suspicious. Was she abducted? Police aren't sure, until a note arrives. While not earning enough reviews for a score on Rotten Tomatoes, the series has overall received positive feedback from viewers. One posted online: "Fresh, seamless show about how these khaki and chukka boot wearing superheroes gather evidence, reconstruct crime scenes, and seek justice for the victims, against the majestic backdrop of our nation's most impressive natural landscapes and skylines. THIS is must-see tv for true crime fans." One review sums up the unique appeal to Wild Crime, and its one that it seems to share with Netflix's Untamed. That it focuses on a little known investigative team. They said: "If you're looking for a true crime doc that'll keep you engaged with plenty of new twists, Wild Crime will do the trick. You're getting every aspect of this case, with an added look into life as a Rocky Mountains ranger." While continuing: "That's the bonus appeal of Wild Crime. Even though the true crime story is pretty tame and a little stale, watching the park experts delve into the accident makes it worthwhile. There are 84 million acres of national parks that need to be patrolled, and how many members of the ISB are there in total? A meek 34. It's incredible to imagine these folks tackling that much land mass, and on top of that, their job isn't exactly easy. They've got to climb uphill, take perilous journeys into the wilderness, and risk their lives to protect us from harm's way."
