Ballard OTT Release Date: When and where to watch Bosch spin-off show featuring Maggie Q and Courtney Taylor
Ballard OTT Release Date: If you've been waiting for the next big crime drama to watch, here's something to look forward to. A brand-new show called Ballard, a spinoff of the popular Bosch series, is set to release on Prime Video. The entire season drops on July 9. All ten episodes will be available to stream in one go. Ballard continues the story world of Bosch, but this time with a new lead character: Detective Renée Ballard, played by Maggie Q.
What is Ballard about?
Ballard focuses on Detective Renée Ballard, a hardworking LAPD officer who now heads the department's cold case unit. These are old criminal cases that were never solved, and her job is to dig into them and find the truth. This division is new, and it doesn't have many resources. But Ballard is committed. She's determined to give forgotten victims a voice.
One of the cases she looks into involves an old serial killer, while another centres on a murdered John Doe. As she follows the clues, she uncovers something much bigger, a dark secret that might involve people inside the police department itself. Ballard is joined by retired detective Harry Bosch, played by Titus Welliver, who fans of the original Bosch series will recognize. Together, they work through old files, new evidence, and personal struggles to bring justice to people.
Who's in the cast?
Leading the series is Maggie Q as Detective Ballard. You may know her from action-packed roles in Nikita and Designated Survivor. She's joined by Courtney Taylor, John Carroll Lynch, Michael Mosley, Rebecca Field, Victoria Moroles, Amy Hill, Ricardo Chavira, Noah Bean, Alain Uy, and Hector Hugo.
And yes, Titus Welliver returns as Harry Bosch. Although he's retired in the story, he plays an important role in helping Ballard solve the cases.
Is Ballard connected to Bosch?
Yes, it is. Ballard takes place in the same world as Bosch and Bosch: Legacy. In fact, Renée Ballard first showed up in the Bosch: Legacy series finale earlier this year. This new show is based on characters and stories by best-selling author Michael Connelly. Just like Bosch and Legacy, Ballard sticks to the same serious, realistic tone. Connelly is also one of the executive producers. Others involved in the bankrolling are Henrik Bastin, Michael Alaimo, Kendall Sherwood, Trish Hofmann, Jet Wilkinson, and Melissa Aouate.
Jasmine Russ joins as co-executive producer under Fabel Entertainment. Jamie Boscardin Martin, Trey Batchelor, and Theresa Snider also serve as co-executive producers. If you enjoy slow-burn crime dramas with smart storytelling, Ballard might be your next binge-watch.

Raftaar was always under the scanner in the last three episodes during the circle of shaq. He did manage to defend himself and share that he is not a traitor initially, but Sufi Motiwala brought out the plan that during the task there was a question which read, 'Who are the traitors most scared of?' The choice was between Sufi and Raftaar, and the correct answer was revealed to be him. Sufi reasoned that Raftaar being the traitor tried to name himself in the answer so that no one would doubt him. Raftaar said that he is not that foolish to do that deflection game even if he were a traitor. However, he shared that he would rather prove his point of having a 'good character' and show that he is a man of his words. Upon being voted out, Raftaar revealed that he is an innocent, which shocked everyone. In the fifth episode, Purav Jha pointed out that Ashish Vidyarthi is playing the game very well and could definitely be the traitor. Many others seemed to agree on that note and he was voted out. He also turned out to be an innocent, which came as a shock to many. As of now, Raj Kundra, Lakshmi Manchu, Sahil Salathia, Maheep Kapoor, Mukesh Chhabra, and Raftaar have been eliminated from the Karan Johar-hosted reality show. Unbeknownst to the rest of the gang, Elnaaz Norouzi and Purav Jha are the traitors. The new episodes will air on Prime Video every Thursday at 8 p.m.
