Overview
- Maggie Q stars as Renée Ballard, the newly appointed head of the LAPD’s underfunded cold-case unit.
- Creator Michael Connelly says the series was designed to stand on its own and not simply extend the Bosch narrative.
- The show relocates from downtown Los Angeles to beachside precincts in West L.A. to broaden its tonal scope.
- Storylines will explore internal sexism, the toll of political interference and the challenges of team leadership in cold-case investigations.
- Though crossovers with Bosch characters are possible, Maggie Q and Connelly say they will only occur when they serve the story’s needs.
