Ballard returns for a second season on Prime Video
Overview
Prime Video has quietly renewed Ballard for a second season, according to insiders. The pickup extends the Bosch universe while the streamer holds back a formal announcement.
Season 2 keeps Detective Renée Ballard on the hunt for a calculating serial killer as she follows leads that point inward, forcing her to navigate a department conspiracy and push past internal resistance. The new run leans further into cold cases, political pressure, and the cost of pursuing justice from within the system.
Lauren Lancaster, Head of US SVOD TV Development, said of the renewal:
“We are excited to share that the Bosch universe will continue to expand with a second season of Ballard for our global Prime Video customers. The audience response to Ballard has been phenomenal, resonating with audiences worldwide thanks to its gripping storytelling and outstanding performances from Maggie Q and the entire cast. We can’t wait for fans to experience everything Season Two has in store.”
Michael Alaimo and Kendall Sherwood, Ballard co-showrunners and executive producers, added:
“We’re so grateful to have the chance to continue Ballard’s story. It’s a pleasure to dive deeper into these characters and this world, and seeing audiences resonate with their stories is incredibly rewarding. We get to work with such a talented, dedicated team who bring this universe to life – and we’re thrilled to be able to continue doing just that. Can’t wait for everyone to see what we’ve cooked up!”
Michael Connelly, executive producer and author of the Ballard novels, said:
“It’s a great privilege to have my characters brought to life on screen season after season, and it’s thanks to the fans continuing to tune in that we’re able to do so. I’m especially grateful to Maggie Q for embodying Renee so perfectly, honoring the character as we take her into the next stage of her journey.”
Expect Ballard Season 2 to release in 2026.
