For those unfamiliar with the show, “Ballard” is a spinoff from “Bosch: Legacy” and follows Renée Ballard, a former homicide detective who is reassigned to lead a small, underfunded cold case unit after facing backlash for speaking out against her sexual assault.

The first season ended on a high-octane cliffhanger, with Detective Robert Olivas found dead under mysterious circumstances and Ballard becoming the prime suspect despite her heroics in closing an important cold case. Author Michael Connelly, also an executive producer, expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to see his characters come to life on screen once again. He specifically praised Maggie Q for her portrayal of Renée, embodying the character flawlessly and guiding her through the next phase of her journey.
