The series Ballard is created by Michael Alaimo and Kendall Sherwood. It follows Detective Renée Ballard as she takes charge of the LAPD’s Cold Case Division. These are cases that were forgotten due to lack of evidence. As Ballard digs deeper into these old crimes, she finds signs of corruption and cover-ups within the police force. She must risk everything to uncover the truth.
Maggie Q shared that this role was physically demanding. But unlike superhero movies, where actors often rely on wires or CGI, Ballard offers more realistic action. “There are no stunts with wires or acrobatics. It’s a grounded action,” she said. The show’s creators focused on showing the real physical and emotional challenges that a police officer might face in daily life.
