'Bosch' Spin-Off Casts Maggie Q in Lead Role Opposite Titus Welliver

The world of Bosch is expanding further with the news that the much-speculated spinoff featuring the character of Renée Ballard is now officially going ahead — and there's a top-tier piece of casting to go with it, according to a report by Deadline. Maggie Q has signed on to play Ballard, one of the many characters created in the Bosch universe by novelist Michael Connelly. Bosch star Titus Welliver is also reported to be part of the show, although this will make the Ballard show the first Bosch series in which Welliver has not played the lead role. As with Bosch: Legacy, the sequel series to Bosch, it's expected to see many characters cross over from one show to the next.
