Why Maggie Q Is Keeping Her Hopes in Check for ‘Ballard’ Season 2
LOS ANGELES, JUL 14 – Amazon Prime Video awaits full viewership and retention data before deciding to renew the Bosch spinoff Ballard, which premiered July 9 and quickly topped the platform's most-watched list.
- On July 9, Amazon Prime Video launched Ballard in Los Angeles, and it has yet to be renewed for a second season.
- Based on his Dark Hours and Desert Star novels, Michael Connelly, author and creator, stated that the series is based on his work and expanded the Bosch universe with Detective Renée Ballard, portrayed by Maggie Q.
- Prime Video data indicates it led the platform’s viewership rankings, and the series holds a 100% Tomatometer score.
- No decision on a second season is expected for at least a month or two, while Prime Video analyzes viewership metrics and Maggie Q notes 'we have a writers’ room already, so that’s very positive'.
- After her cliffhanger arrest for Olivas’s murder, storylines may shift to the unit’s future, and if renewed, production could resume in the fall, Maggie Q said.
