Get ready for a fresh take on crime dramas with “Ballard”, the anticipated Bosch spinoff premiering July 9 on Prime Video. The series follows LAPD Detective Renée, who leads an underfunded cold case unit full of determination and grit.
What’s the Series About
Renée isn’t your typical detective. She’s relentless in her pursuit of justice, heading a volunteer team working to solve L.A.’s most haunting unsolved crimes. But she’s also up against red tape, corruption, and the emotional weight of her own past.
The cases are chilling, but the real story is her fight—against bureaucracy, personal trauma, and powerful forces who’d rather keep the truth buried.
