Ballard season 2 coming soon as Bosch franchise grows without Titus Welliver
Prime Video's Bosch spinoff Ballard, starring Maggie Q as cold-case detective Renee Ballard, returns for season 2 in early 2027.
Titus Welliver won't return to lead Prime Video's Bosch universe, but the franchise is expanding. Ballard season 2 is expected in early 2027, though it could arrive in late 2026.
Maggie Q plays a cold-case specialist, one of Bosch's few trusted colleagues. Maggie Q's role proved complex enough to anchor the spinoff.
Season 1 of Ballard earned stellar reviews and was quickly renewed. A prequel called Bosch: Start of Watch is also coming.
It will recast the younger Bosch with Gotham's Cameron Monaghan. The original Bosch ran seven seasons starting in 2014.
It was based on Michael Connelly's novel series.
