However, that doesnt mean the Prime Video hit will return. FULL STORY ====================================================================== I want it, you want it, we all want it, but as it stands, theres no news confirming Ballard season 2. The Bosch: Legac y spinoff has had astonishing success on Prime Video during its first week of release, scoring the elusive 100% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes. These days, though, even that doesnt guarantee a future. Ballard, which follows LAPD detective Rene Ballard (Maggie Q) as she oversees a cold case in a new department, remains the most streamed new TV show on the platform at the time of writing, with positive critical reviews flying in thick and fast. Even to someone who knows very little about how the industry works, theres clearly more than enough evidence to commission new episodes. But according to Maggie Q, theres just as much chance that we could never see Ballard again if a second season isnt green lit. The biggest shame if the new series quits while its ahead? Well never get to see the very exciting season 2 arc thats been teased by Q herself. Ballard season 2 isnt guaranteed to be renewed by Prime Video, but a very exciting arc would make a cancelation devastating Spoilers for Ballard season 1 finale ahead. I have no sense, Q told The Hollywood Reporter about a potential Ballard season 2. This industry is not what it was before. Its barely recognizable to me, and shows are so expendable. They can throw out a show in two seconds, and it doesnt make a ton of difference that whole worlds and livelihoods are at stake. Studios always have options. But we have a writers room, and theyve been writing away. The arc for the second season is very exciting, she confirms. But Ive had writers room hired before and then gotten cancelled. So everyones like, Maggie, of course! Im like, No, no, no. There is no of course. I am not a negative person at all. Im a very positive person, but Im a realist. Lets recap what we know. Season 1 left off with the unexpected reveal that Councilman Jake Pearlmans (Noah Bean) own father, Gary Pearlman (Kevin Dunn) murdered his own daughter over an alleged confrontation about his marital affair. Robert Olivas (Ricardo Chavira) was also exposed as being a dirty cop alongside being a generally terrible human (bear in mind the earlier assault accusations), but when hes also killed off, Ballard is arrested for it. Weve not seen how Olivas died, but we did see Ballard draw her gun on him in the final moments of their confrontation. If season 2 never gets off the ground, Ballard is essentially stuck in jail, for possibly no good reason, for the rest of her fictional life. Not only this, but Ballard has already defied the typical crime drama stereotype by blending the personal and professional in an entirely new way, so it would be an extra shame to lose something thats bringing us something fresh. As far as Im concerned, Prime Video owes it to the franchise, fans and the undoubtedly the strongest Bosch spinoff so far to give over some answers.
