“We are headed for some dark waters…” Ain’t that the truth. Amazon’s Prime Video has revealed the first look teaser trailer for a new detective series set in Los Angeles titled Ballard, ready for streaming in the summer this year. This “marks the first series in Amazon MGM Studios’ Bosch franchise, inspired by the work of bestselling author Michael Connelly, that is not led by Titus Welliver,” explained by Deadline when it was first announced. Though Welliver is still in it. Ballard stars actress Maggie Q as a LAPD detective (also from the Connelly novels) named Renee Ballard – who oversees a new cold case division at the L.A. Police Department, and gets into some deep water digging into some of these cases. The full cast includes Q with John Carroll Lynch, Rebecca Field, Michael Mosley, Amy Hill, Victoria Moroles, Courtney Taylor, Hector Hugo, Noah Bean, and Michael Cassidy. Plus Welliver appearing as Harry Bosch. This teaser is barely 45 seconds but actually packs a punch – this might actually be a damn good series to watch.
Here’s the first look teaser trailer for Prime Video’s series Ballard, direct from PV’s YouTube:
This Ballard series follows Detective Renée Ballard (Maggie Q), who is tasked with running the LAPD’s new cold-case unit — a poorly funded, all-volunteer unit with the largest case load in the city. Ballard approaches these frozen-in-time cases with empathy & determination. When she uncovers a conspiracy during her investigations, she’ll lean on the assistance of her retired ally, Harry Bosch (Titus Welliver), to navigate the dangers that threaten both her unit and her life. Ballard is a series created and written by Kendall Sherwood, also a writer / producer on the series “Major Crimes”, “The Code”, “Hawaii Five-0”, and “Your Honor” previously. Showrun by Michael Alaimo & Sherwood. It’s adapted from the “Harry Bosch” book series created and written by Michael Connelly. Featuring episodes directed by Jet Wilkinson, Sarah Boyd, Tori Garrett, and Jon Huertas. Executive produced by Jet Wilkinson, Michael Alaimo, Melissa Aouate, Henrik Bastin, Michael Connelly, Kendall Sherwood, and Trish Hofmann. Amazon will debut the Ballard series streaming on Prime Video starting sometime Summer 2025 – stay tuned for more. Look any good?
