When does the 'Bosch' spinoff series 'Ballard' premiere? Date, cast, how to watch

The comings and goings of disgraced LAPD detective Renée Ballard, the head of the new and underfunded cold case division, will be the focus of "Ballard," a new crime drama series coming to Prime Video on July 9.

The show, named after the titular character, is a spinoff off "Bosch," another police procedural inspired by Michael Connelly’s bestselling novels.

Titus Welliver, who played dogged LAPD detective Harry Bosch for 10 seasons on "Bosch" and "Bosch: Legacy," returns to offer his guidance and expertise as Ballard (Maggie Q) "tackles the city’s most challenging long-forgotten crimes with empathy and relentless determination."

The opening of “Ballard” drops us into the action, calling to mind the brooding in medias res that kicked off the hit Idris Elba series “Luther.” Detective Renée Ballard (Maggie Q) is at the tail end of a grueling case, already at odds with her colleagues over her refusal to back down or be silenced. Yet, while a comparison to the British procedural initially seems apt, “Ballard” looks and feels more like the legal thrillers of the 1990s. Not that it’s dated, but there’s the same stylized tension, radiating a sense of visual heat and internal volatility. The show’s Los Angeles is sunlit but always on edge.

Landing a lead role in a TV series would seem like a dream scenario for an up-and-coming actor. But it can also become a nightmare. Just ask Maggie Q.

The actor, who got her start in Hong Kong action films, scored the title role in the CW’s 2010 spy thriller “Nikita,” where she was able to showcase her athletic prowess while becoming one of the few Asian actors to star in a network drama series.

Although Q was grateful for the experience, she also remembers the project as all-consuming and grueling, prompting her to be more selective about her choices.
