Ballard features LAPD investigator Renée Ballard, portrayed by Maggie Q, leading a new Cold Case Unit aimed at solving 6,000 cold cases. Her first investigation revolves around the murder of Sarah Pearlman, a case that motivated her brother, Councilman Jake Pearlman, to support the unit. The season draws from three Michael Connelly books while also introducing original content. It establishes Ballard as a strong workaholic character amidst departmental sexism, culminating in a personal crisis when she is framed for a murder she didn’t commit.
Ballard stars Maggie Q as the dogged and empathetic investigator... committed to closing as many... cold cases... Her first case is the early 2000s murder of teenager Sarah Pearlman.
There are new characters and new cases, including episodic one-offs to balance the source material's more serialized approach... Ballard is all about establishing its title character as a badass workaholic who refuses to bend to the department's sexism.
