Exciting news for fans of the American police television series, Ballard! The show, which first premiered on July 9, has been renewed for a second season on an OTT platform. Created by Michael Alaimo and Kendall Sherwood, Ballard, starring Maggie Q as LAPD Detective Renee Ballard, has captured the hearts of viewers and is gearing up for another thrilling season.
The renewal of Ballard season 2 comes hot on the heels of the Los Angeles series. In fact, the show was recently awarded a $14.84 million tax credit by the California Film Commission, making its return all the more likely.

A spin-off of the popular series Bosch, Ballard follows Detective Renée Ballard as she leads the LAPD’s cold case division, delving into the city’s long-forgotten crimes. With a talented cast including Maggie Q, John Carroll Lynch, and Amy Hill, among others, the show promises to deliver intense drama and suspense.
The first season of Ballard consisted of 10 episodes and premiered on July 9, 2025.
