Prime Video's Ballard release date, cast, trailer and what to expect from Bosch spin-off
Ballard is set in the same universe as author Michael Connelly's Bosch and The Lincoln Lawyer
Ballard is Prime Video's next big crime drama with fans eager to know everything about the upcoming book adaptation.
The third and final series of Botch: Legacy came out earlier this year with the last season introducing Detective Renee Ballard (played by Maggie Q) as she helped Harry Bosch (Titus Welliver) with a particularly complex case.
Now Ballard is getting her own show, based on the work of author Michael Connelly, who is also behind the Bosch and The Lincoln Lawyer book series.
Ahead of its debut, here's everything you need to know about Ballard.
Ballard release date
There is only a matter of days left to wait before Ballard premieres with the Bosch spin-off coming out on Wednesday, 9th July, on Prime Video.
All episodes are going to be dropped on this initial release date so fans will be able to binge-watch whenever they want.
Ballard cast
Leading the cast as Detective Renee Ballard is actress Maggie Q who is famed for playing Hannah Wells in Designated Survivor and portraying the titular character of Nikita for three years.
She is joined by Fargo and The Founder star John Carroll Lynch who is behind Ballard's retired former police partner Thomas Laffont.
Meanwhile, Ozark's Michael Mosley plays reserve LAPD officer Ted Rawls, The Client List star Rebecca Field as volunteer Colleen, Plan B's Victoria Moroles as legal intern Martina and 50 First Dates actress Amy Hill as the detective's grandmother Tutu.
It has also already been confirmed that Bosch actor Titus Welliver will be reprising his role for Ballard.
What to expect from Ballard
Ballard is tasked with leading the LAPD's newly established but under funded cold case division after she is forced to take a break from the homicide division.
She investigates various complicated, unsolved crimes, one of which is a string of serial killings and a murdered John Doe.
Ballard is able to get to the bottom of cases with help from her team of volunteers as well as a friendly face in Bosch.
On top of her workload, Ballard has to deal with her personal struggles which made her leave the homicide division in the first place.
