The Renee Ballard New Series Regulars And The Characters They Are Portraying

Courtney Taylor

Taylor will play Samira Parker, who has been described as an impulsive and strong woman with a passion for seeking justice.

Courtney Taylor is an exciting acting prospect, who made her breakthrough as Jasmine in the television series, Single & Anxious, and she has gone on to appear in a string of small screen roles in Insecure, The Company You Keep and, most recently, Abbott Elementary.

John Carroll Lynch

Lynch will play a retired police officer called Thomas Laffont, who assists Ballard in the running of the poorly funded cold case division.

John Carroll Lynch is probably best known for playing Arthur Leigh Allen in David Fincher's Zodiac in 2007. Allen was one of the prime suspects in the horrific serial killer case, and it was an unsettling and memorable performance by Lynch. He also famously played Margie's husband, Norm Gunderson, in Fargo in 1996, and he has consistently appeared in television and movie roles for over 30 years.

Michael Mosley

Mosley will play Ted Rawls, a reserve officer who has been assigned to the cold case unit to keep tabs on Ballard.

Mosley is best known for playing Mason Young in Netflix's hit drama series, Ozark, but he's also appeared in a string of other television shows, including Kidnapped, Scrubs and The Sinner.

Rebecca Field

Field will play Colleen Hatteras, who is a volunteer in the cold case unit, with an enthusiastic personality, but she also possesses a very intuitive nature.

Field has made a number of guest appearances on television shows, including The Rookie, L.A.'s Finest and Shameless. Her most recent role was in the law drama, All Rise, but the Ballard series will be her biggest role to date.

Victoria Moroles

Moroles will portray an intelligent legal intern called Martina Castro.

Moroles is best known for the role of Hayden Romero in the hit MTV series, Teen Wolf, but she's been a regular on television screens for over a decade now.

Amy Hill

Hill takes on the intriguing role of Renee Ballard's loyal grandmother, Tutu, who is always on board to offer her support.

Easily the most experienced member of the Ballard cast, Amy Hill made her acting debut in 1984, in two episodes of the television series, Fifty/Fifty. She's gone on to make nearly 200 appearances in television shows and movies. She is also a notable voice actor, with credits including Lilo and Stitch, American Dad and King of the Hill.

What Will Renee Ballard Season 1 Be About?

Renee Ballard Season 1
Starring	Maggie Q, Courtney Taylor, John Carroll Lynch, Michael Mosley, Rebecca Field, Victoria Moroles, Amy Hill, Ricardo Chavira, Noah Bean, Alain Uy, Hector Hugo and Titus Welliver
Based on the books by	Michael Connelly
Directed by	Jet Wilkinson

Michael Connelly, Trish Hofmann, Michael Alaimo and Kendall Sherwood will serve as executive producers on the untitled Ballard series, but no release date has been announced yet. The debut season will be based on Michael Connelly's book, Desert Star, which sees Ballard and Bosch team up to hunt down a violent killer who has murdered a whole family. According to the book, this particular case is considered to be Harry Bosch's 'white whale'.

Renee Ballard has taken control of the poorly funded cold case unit in the LAPD, and plans to revitalize it with a team of volunteer detectives joining her. In the book, Ballard offers Bosch the chance to join the cold case unit and gain access to LAPD resources. However, the series may opt to have Bosch help out using his resources as a registered private investigator, rather than officially joining the team.
