Renée Ballard Series Adds Ricardo Chavira, Noah Bean, Alain Uy, Hector Hugo To Cast
EXCLUSIVE: The new Bosch spinoff series centering on Renée Ballard is rounding out its cast, adding Ricardo Chavira, Noah Bean, Alain Uy and Hector Hugo in recurring roles. They join previously announced series regulars Maggie Q, Courtney Taylor, John Carroll Lynch, Michael Mosley, Rebecca Field, Victoria Moroles and Amy Hill.
The untitled series follows Detective Renée Ballard (Q), who is tasked with running the LAPD’s new cold case division — a poorly funded, all-volunteer unit with the largest caseload in the city. Ballard approaches these frozen-in-time cases with empathy and determination. When she uncovers a larger conspiracy during her investigations, she’ll lean on the assistance of her retired ally, Harry Bosch, to navigate the dangers that threaten both her unit and her life.
