Prime Video’s lineup is stacked with new arrivals, returning favorites, and buzzy spinoffs, and this week’s most-watched list reflects that mix. From sun-soaked YA romance and college-age superheroes to espionage thrillers and police procedurals, these are the titles everyone’s streaming right now.

Below, you’ll find a quick rundown of each series—what it’s about, who’s in it, and the key creatives behind the camera. We’re counting down from 10 to 1, keeping the order exactly as provided.

10. ‘Upload’ (2020–2025) 3 Arts Entertainment

Set in a near-future where people can “upload” to a digital afterlife, ‘Upload’ follows coder Nathan Brown after his death, as he navigates the...

The Creative Arts Emmys 2025 saw Shawn Hatosy earn both his first Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series nomination and win for his role as Dr. Jack Abbot in the premiere season of HBO‘s The Pitt at the 77th annual award show on Saturday, Sept. 6. During his Emmy acceptance speech, he said (via The Hollywood Reporter):

In the words of my 7-year-old, holy sh-t. I very much want to thank John Wells who has thrown me so many lifelines over the years. I’d say more but I’m gonna cry and that would be embarassing. Noah Wyle, your leadership, your performance on The Pitt is extraordinary. It...

Prime Video seems to have cornered the dad market, with franchises such as Reacher and The Terminal List having recently expanded. This comes after a decade of success with shows such as Jack Ryan and Bosch, which paved the way for the streaming industry in many ways. This week saw the debut of The Terminal List: Dark Wolf, a spin-off to the blockbuster 2022 series The Terminal List. The new show serves as a prequel to the original and centers around the character played by Taylor Kitsch. Meanwhile, Chris Prattappears in a supporting role, mainly to satiate fans who've been waiting for him to return with a second season of the mothership show.

Prime Video is packed with returning favorites and brand-new originals that cover everything from high school summer heartbreaks to covert task forces and spy rings. This week’s lineup brings big franchise expansions alongside buzzy YA dramas and a long-running historical hit many viewers are revisiting.

Below is a straight countdown from 10 to 1 using your list exactly as given. Each entry includes concise details on the story, the principal cast and who is behind the camera so you can jump in knowing what to expect and who made it happen.

Prime Video’s Bosch spinoff Ballard is one step closer to a Season 2 renewal after the California Film Commission recently awarded the series a $14.84 million tax credit. According to Deadline, TV studios typically submit projects for tax incentives that they believe in, which either have already received a pickup or are on the verge of one. Ballard, which is set in Los Angeles, was put forward for the tax credit following strong ratings and reviews for its first season, which premiered on July 9, 2025. On Wednesday (August 27), the California Film Commission announced 22 productions that would receive a total of $256 million in state tax credits. In addition to Ballard, this included Apple...

Exclusive: Dei isn’t Doa in Hollywood. Just take a look at what’s trending on streaming right now.

A slew of Asian American-led TV series and films are dominating the summer airwaves, even as studios dismantle many of their diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, raising questions about their ongoing commitment to representing the real world on both the big and small screens.

Look no further than the trio of shows currently leading Prime Video’s Top 10 TV list: the Maggie Q-led Ballard, Butterfly, starring Daniel Dae Kim, and the YA hit The Summer I Turned Pretty, created by Jenny Han and starring Lola Tung.

Per Nielsen’s most recent Media Distributor Gauge report, Amazon captured 3.9% of all TV viewing in July thanks to the early success of both Ballard and The Summer I Turned Pretty. The Bosch spinoff, which debuted on July 9, generated 2.5B minutes viewed in the U.

Hollywood loves nothing so much as self-satire — except maybe getting somebody else to help pay for it.

Yes, “The Studio” is returning for a second season, this time with $13 million in support from the state of California.

The Apple TV+ show was one of 22 productions awarded a total of $256 million in state tax credits on Wednesday. This is the first allocation since the state expanded its filming incentive to $750 million overall in June — triggering a surge of interest from the studios.

According to the California Film Commission, applications leaped nearly 400% compared to the prior round for TV shows. Perhaps more noteworthy, no qualified projects were turned away.

“The Studio” is among the first to qualify under new eligibility rules that allow credits to go to half-hour shows. In the past, TV shows had to have episodes of at least 40 minutes to qualify — with exceptions for shows like “Veep” that were relocating from other states.

YouTube pulled in more viewership than any streaming service during the month of July, according to Nielsen’s monthly Gauge report. This the the sixth month in a row that the free video-sharing site has come out on top of Nielsen’s ranking, this time achieving 13.4% of all TV viewing.

That total is doubly impressive in the context of the platform’s overall reach. Nielsen only measures viewership on television screens, but YouTube meets a sizable portion of its audience on mobile devices — presumably more so than companies like Netflix and Disney — so its true proportion of streaming viewership is likely even higher.

Ranking at No. 2 after YouTube was Disney. Across its two streamers, Hulu and Disney+ (which will be combined into one app next year), Disney accounted for 9.4% of TV viewership in July. Per Nielsen, the four-point difference between YouTube and Disney is the largest lead a media company...

YouTube’s streak as TV’s top media distributor continued in July, with the company capturing 13.4% of TV viewing. The company established its largest lead to date over its streaming and legacy media competitors since Nielsen began first tracking in November 2023.

Disney stayed in second place at 9.4%, while Netflix jumped to 8.8% in July –rounding out the top three for the second consecutive month.

The latter saw the largest volume gain across all streaming platforms during the month, increasing its average minute audience by an additional 215,000 viewers compared to June. It was also the only streaming platform to exhibit an increase across all viewing demographic categories month over month.

NBCUniversal and...

Exclusive: Elsie Fisher (Eighth Grade), Ty Simpkins (The Whale), Julie Ann Emery (Better Call Saul) and Mel Rodriguez (The Last Man on Earth) have joined the cast of Busted, an indie revenge thriller from director Maria Bissell (How to Deter a Robber), who penned the script with Dp Stephen Tringali.

Currently in production, the film sees naive college freshman Wendy (Fisher) get trapped in a vicious blackmail scheme by her own roommate, being forced into a seedy strip club to pay off the debt. But when she uncovers the sick truth behind the setup, the tables turn — hard. Joining forces with the club’s outrageous misfit crew, Wendy launches a daring reverse con to take her tormentor down.

Others in the cast include Michael Rose, Kathleen Wilhoite, Maria Zhang and Ava Allan. Bissell is producing alongside Stephen Tringali and Pamela Price. Co-producers include Simone Tringali, Dario Saliani, and Eric Bochner.

Prime Video may have just found its next crime-drama juggernaut. One month after its debut, Ballard — the Bosch spin-off starring Maggie Q — has officially overtaken Reacher on the streamer’s U.S. Top 10 chart, proving that fans are more than ready for a new lead detective. With Bosch: Legacy wrapping after three seasons, Prime Video needed a new centerpiece for author Michael Connelly’s LA crime universe. Enter Renée Ballard, a character known to book readers who has now taken center stage in her own series. Unlike Bosch, Ballard isn’t rogue — but she’s just as relentless.

“Obviously Harry Bosch is a bit more rogue. Ballard has to...

Prime Video has another streaming hit on its hands — and this one’s the definition of an easy binge. Two months after its premiere, We Were Liars is still holding strong in the streamer’s Top 10 TV Shows in the U.S. As of August 18, the eight-episode psychological thriller sits at No. 5, behind onlyBallard, Countdown, Butterfly, and The Summer I Turned Pretty. That’s an impressive feat considering We Were Liars dropped all at once on June 18 — yet fans are still pressing play long after the usual post-binge drop-off.

Based on the best-selling 2014 novel by E. Lockhart, the series comes from Vampire Diaries duo Julie Plec and Carina Adly McKenzie.

For a certain group, there is nobody out there quite like Harry Bosch. The brainchild of author Michael Connelly, Detective Hieronymus "Harry" Bosch made his debut in 1922 in the pages of "The Black Echo" and, before long, became a staple of bookstores all around the world. While Connelly has written quite a few other novels, including the "Lincoln Lawyer" series, the lion's share of the astounding 89 million books (and counting) he's sold center on Mr. Bosch. 

"I was a journalist for 14 years, and I covered the police. I was smart enough to say, 'This is what I have that maybe other writers don't have,' so I'd be a fool not to use that authenticity in my book," Connelly explained to the Associated Press in 2023. "So, Harry Bosch started out as a cop, and he was an outsider."

Billy Bob Thornton returned to the spotlight last year thanks to his performance in Taylor Sheridan’s Landman, but long before he ever played Tommy Norris, he starred in a legal drama that’s returned to streaming charts nearly 10 years after its premiere. Thornton stars alongside William Hurt (Lost in Space) and Nina Arianda (Midnight in Paris) in Goliath, the series following a disgraced lawyer who is now an ambulance chaser who gets a case that could bring him redemption and revenge. All four seasons of Goliath are still streaming on Prime Video, and the show has returned to the top 10 in the Czech Republic and several other countries. The final season of Goliath earned a 100% from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, and the show as a whole holds a 70% on the audience-driven Popcornmeter.

Goliath drew comparisons to Titus Welliver’s Bosch upon its release, largely due to the crime/legal drama aspects of the series.

A deep dive into Prime Video’s biggest strengths, where it still needs work, and why it’s hard to beat as part of Amazon Prime.

When I think of Prime Video, I think of the big-budget original series that I love, like “Fallout,” “The Boys,” and “The Wheel of Time.” But once I zoom it and take a look at Prime Video’s TV library as a whole, it strikes me just how much is actually here. Big action hits? Check. Prestige dramas? Yep. Teen romances, international dramas, classic TV shows? All of it. Prime Video doesn’t really stick to one lane — and that’s kind of the point. It’s built to be an “everything” service, with a deep catalog that kind of mashes up everything. And then I remember it’s included with my paid Amazon Prime membership, and it becomes one of the best all-around deals in streaming.

Pop into the Hollywood shop The Record Parlour on any given day, and you will probably run across the soundtrack to the cult aerobic ’80s film “Perfect” starring John Travolta and Jamie Lee Curtis. The intimate store has all the vibes vinyl heads crave: boxes upon boxes of vintage records, along with some new releases mixed into the neatly organized sections.

It’s my go-to. I know I will always find something to scratch my collector itch among its copious piles. Just the other day, I was heading to my friend’s Diane Keaton-themed birthday party and needed to find a gift that somehow would work for that… enter The Record Parlour and, low and behold, an original copy of the “Looking for Mr. Goodbar” soundtrack.

So among the many, many nostalgia-laden sparks of joy I felt watching “Freakier Friday,” perhaps the greatest burst of feeling for me came...

A record-setting season for Love Island USA peaked in the week of the show’s season finale, reaching the top spot on Nielsen’s streaming charts.

The dating show recorded 1.93 billion viewing minutes for the week of July 7-13, its highest weekly total ever (ahead of 1.78 billion minutes two weeks earlier) and its first time in the No. 1 overall spot on Nielsen’s charts. Peacock has separately said season seven of Love Island USA is the streamer’s most watched original show to date.

Peacock had two shows in the top 10 originals for the week, as Poker Face (312 million minutes) re-entered the rankings for the week of its second season finale.

Ballard, a spinoff of Bosch starring Maggie Q as the title character, had a strong opening week for Prime Video with 1.03 billion minutes of watch time (the full season premiered July 9). That was good for seventh place among all...

Being number one is not necessarily a good thing, and the latest reimagination of War of the Worlds is a good example. Widely panned by critics and viewers alike, the movie currently stands at 0% on the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes. Despite the universal dislike of it, that hasn't stopped viewers from checking out what the fuss is about. As a result, War of the Worlds is the top movie on Prime Video, a week after it was released. The Ice Cube-starring sci-fi movie's description reads:

Will Radford is a top cyber-security analyst for Homeland Security who tracks potential threats to national security through a mass surveillance program, until one day an attack by an unknown entity leads him to question whether the government is hiding something from him... and from the rest of the world.

Adapted from H.G. Wells' book of the same name, War of the Worlds...

Prime Video's new action shows Ballard and Countdown are locked in a battle for supremacy on streaming charts. Both shows are recent crime dramas that cover similar ground. As other streamers like Apple TV+ have built a reputation for sci-fi shows, Prime Video is becoming known for action thrillers like Reacherand Cross.

Ballard is a spinoff of Bosch: Legacy, where Maggie Q's titular character is introduced in the series finale. Her own series sees her leading a cold case division at the LAPD. Countdown follows Jensen Ackles' Mark Meachum and a task force as they attempt to stop a weapon of mass destruction from going off in Los Angeles.

Per FlixPatrol, Prime Video's most recent hit action series are at the top of its Top 10 TV streaming charts. Ballard, which dropped all of its episodes on July 9, currently sits at the no. 2 spot on the list. Countdown, which...

Jensen Ackles’ crime series is inching closer to its season finale by the day, but it just took a major step forward after passing what has been its biggest competitor on streaming charts. Ackles stars alongside Eric Dane (Euphoria) and Jessica Camacho (Bosch: Legacy) in Countdown, the Prime Video original series following an LAPD officer who joins a task force that uncovers a sinister plot to kill millions. Countdown has been clashing with Ballard, the 100% Rotten TomatoesBosch: Legacy spin-off, at the top of Prime Video streaming charts, but now Countdown has finally surpassed it to take the #2 spot. Countdown currently sits at a 38% from critics on Rotten Tomatoes and a 72% on the audience-driven Popcornmeter. Both projects sit well behind the latest season of The Summer I Turned Pretty.

Countdown is a product of Derek Haas, the legendary scribe who is also known for his work creating Chicago Fire, Chicago P.

Hightownis having a surprise moment in the spotlight. The forgotten crime drama has climbed up to #4 on Netflix’s Top 10 in the United States as of July 29, per FlixPatrol, leaving behind some pretty big titles, including Squid Game, which released a new (and final) season just last month, and even The Sandman, which finally dropped its highly anticipated second season on July 24.

What’s even more surprising is that Hightown isn’t brand new. The series wrapped up its final season back in 2024 and quietly faded from the spotlight. It only just landed on Netflix on July 23, and thanks to the platform’s massive reach, a prime spot on the homepage, and growing word-of-mouth buzz, Hightown has quickly climbed the charts and found a whole new audience. The series follows Jackie Quiñones (Monica Raymund), a federal agent with the National Marine Fisheries Service who’s struggling with drug and alcohol addiction.

Bosch was a major hit for Prime Video, and the spinoff series Ballard,is already leaving its mark when it comes to viewership, upping the likelihood of receiving a season 2. Lasting for 7 seasons between 2014 and 2021, Bosch was one of Prime Video's most successful shows, becoming the streamer's longest-running original series.

Bosch, based on the Harry Bosch book series by Michael Connelly, was so successful that it spawned not one, but two spin-off shows. The first, titled Bosch: Legacy, ran for 3 seasons between 2022 and 2025 on Amazon Freevee and was a continuation of the original Bosch. One of the most prominent aspects of Bosch: Legacy was the fact that it introduced Detective Renée Ballard (Maggie Q) in the Bosch: Legacy finale.

Ballard season 1 premiered on Prime Video on July 9, 2025, and its ratings are through the roof. Critics also love it, with the show receiving a perfect Rotten Tomatoes score. According to FlixPatrol,...

A mix of new hits and old favorites that prove Prime Video’s TV game is strong.

When people talk about the best TV on streaming, Prime Video still doesn’t always get the credit it deserves, and I get why. It didn’t launch with a huge splash or a buzzy identity. But over the years, it’s built up a killer lineup of original series that honestly stacks up with the best of ’em. Some picks on this list are newer (had to make room for a couple recent standouts), and yeah, I even swapped out a personal fave because I made a mistake last time out. Whether you’re into thrillers, comedies, dramas, or completely insane entertaining chaos, Prime Video has something that hits. So, here’s my updated list of the 10 best shows that Prime Video has ever dropped.

Based on May Cobb’s thriller of the same name, “The Hunting Wives” catapults viewers into the messy, secret-filled world of East Texas.

Netflix‘s soapy new mystery stars Brittany Snow as Sophie O’Neill, a Bostonian housewife and former political PR rep. After moving to Maple Brook for her husband’s job, Sophie molds herself to fit in with the rich society women of the Texas town, ditching her sobriety, going to church and even hitting the shooting range to be included in the group.

When a murder takes place, a shocking twist makes some of the women primary suspects. Snow stars opposite Malin Akerman, who plays the wife of a billionaire businessman with several secrets of her own.

The series was originally set to premiere at Starz but was later picked up by Netflix. All eight episodes of the first season of the thriller series are available to stream now.

The Prime Video police procedural series Ballard got off to a hot start, and one of the stars has indicated this suggests hopeful news for Ballard season 2. Ballard, a spinoff of the Bosch franchise, premiered on July 9, 2025, and the series has a 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, though it left some story threads open-ended.

Fortunately, one of the stars of the series has hinted that season 2 may be a reality, and then we should get an answer to some of those burning questions from Ballard season 1. ScreenRant's Grant Hermanns interviewed Courtney Taylor, who plays Zamira Parker, a former LAPD officer who joins Ballard's (Maggie Q) Cold Case Unit.

Taylor discussed with Hermanns and ScreenRant her thoughts about Ballard's high Rt score and its pole position on Amazon Prime viewing charts (via FlixPatrol). Taylor said,

"I think they're just excited. I think everybody's just really excited about it still being No.

Netflix is on quite a hot streak this summer. The platform released a slew of titles that have shot to the top, maintaining its No. 1 position in the Samba TV Wrap report for seven consecutive weeks.

The thriller mini-series “Untamed” is the latest Netflix title to debut at the top of our chart, thanks to 2.4 million households that watched the first episode in the four days following its release on July 17. Eric Bana stars as an investigator from the National Parks Service who is sent to investigate after a body is discovered in Yosemite National Park.

With more than 300 million subscribers, it’s no surprise that Netflix titles continue to top the chart. What’s remarkable is the breadth of titles and genres that have done so. Five different titles have held the top spot across movies and original series, ranging from comedy (“Madea’s Destination Wedding”) to action (“The Old Guard 2...

Bosch fans were worried about what they would watch now that the Titus Welliver-led series has ended, but Ballard has very quickly become a go-to replacement series on Prime Video. The new series starring Maggie Q as Detective Renée Ballard, with Welliver guest-starring as Harry Bosch, has led the Prime Video chart since its debut two weeks ago after earning a perfect Rotten Tomatoes critic score and a solid 78% from audiences. Someone who is really pleased about that is star Courtney Taylor.

In Ballard, Taylor plays Samira Parker, and while she knew that everyone making the series loved it – including Welliver – having critics and audiences feel the same has made it so much better. She told ScreenRant:

“I'm literally on cloud nine. I could not have imagined a better reaction from all of the Bosch fans, all of the Michael Connolly fans, and even the new fans that are coming out.

Titus Welliver, who led the Bosch franchise for seven years, is now part of another series that is dominating the streaming charts. Welliver has been active in Hollywood since 1990, but it took him ample time to gain prominence within the industry. Despite appearing in many movies and TV shows, he was not as well known earlier in his career.

Brooklyn South was the first show where he had true recognition, playing Officer Jake Lowery for a full season. From there, he would continue to strive for recurring roles, and he would find them in Deadwood, That's Life, Sons of Anarchy, and The Good Wife. Finally, in 2014, Welliver found a show that was perfectly suited for him: Bosch.

Welliver starred in the show from 2014 to 2022, before reprising his place as Harry Bosch in the spin-off sequel, Bosch: Legacy, from 2022 to 2025. Unfortunately, Bosch: Legacy came to an end in April, but Welliver...

Amazon's Prime Video has carved quite a niche for itself as the premiere outlet for what I affectionately call "Dad TV." These shows take place in a world of square-jawed, broad-shouldered dudes who aren't afraid to get their hands dirty to do what needs to be done. No one, and I mean no one, better captures this specific genre of TV than Hieronymus "Harry" Bosch. Starring the gruff "Deadwood" and "Lost" alum Titus Welliver, the series had a healthy seven season run on Prime Video, which is a rare accomplishment these days where streaming shows are lucky to get even two seasons.

Premiering in 2014, "Bosch" adapted a series of novels by "The Lincoln Lawyer" author Michael Connelly with hard boiled titles like "City of Bones" and "The Concrete Blonde." The series aired its final episode in 2020, but that didn't mean Amazon was getting out of the Bosch business. They almost...

It looks like a famous Star Trek alum is about to beam on board a popular crime drama in a mystery role!

Star Trek actors have often done well avoiding being typecast outside of the franchise. William Shatner struggled for years to escape the shadow of Kirk but succeeded with T.J. Hooker and Boston Legal. Other actors have done well with non-Trek roles, and while still connected to the franchise, stand on their own.

One of the best examples is Jeri Ryan. Before Star Trek: Voyager, her biggest role was on the short-lived NBC sci-fi drama Dark Skies. It was her turn as Seven of Nine that boosted Ryan to fame, and her portrayal of the former Borg made her an instant sci-fi fan favorite.

Since Voyager ended, Ryan has stayed busy on TV. She’s had roles on Boston Public, Shark, Body of Proof, Leverage, and Bosch, along with numerous guest star roles.

We’re in the thick of summer, with many Americans traveling to far-off locales to kick back and relax a little bit. More than a few are likely hitting the road to attend a wedding, which is the subject matter of this week’s most-watched streaming program: “Madea’s Destination Wedding.”

The film is noteworthy for being part of a series of sextets. “Madea” is writer/director/producer/actor Tyler Perry’s sixth film for Netflix, the first of six Netflix titles on the chart this week, and it helps the streamer hold the top spot on the Samba TV Wrap report for the sixth consecutive week.

Remarkably, “Madea” is the second film from Perry in that run, following “Straw,” which kicked off Netflix’s current streak back on the June 12 chart.

While Netflix is on a hot streak, it could be argued that its chart-topping titles aren’t necessarily making...

Criminal Minds: Evolutionshowrunner and executive producer Erica Messer confirms that a TV legend has joined season 4. In the finale of Criminal Minds: Evolution season 3, the Bau seemingly bids farewell to Zach Gilford's Elias Voit and looks ahead to what's next. For arguably the first time in the Paramount+ revival's history, there isn't a massive cliffhanger to address.

The path for Criminal Minds: Evolution season 4 may be a little clearer now, as Messer confirms to TVLinethat veteran actress Jeri Ryan has joined the show. Although exact details about who Ryan will be playing are not known, Messer talks in the quote below about how Ryan's iconic Star Trek connects her to the Paramount+ crime drama:

“Jeri had worked with the director of the premiere, Doug Aarniokoski, for years on Star Trek, so they’ve known one another. ... But yeah, Jeri is amazing.”

What This Means For Criminal Minds: Evolution...

Actor Titus Welliver is known for playing Hieronymus “Harry” Bosch in the shows Bosch and Bosch: Legacy, but his new crime drama, which boasts a 100% Rt score, has an exciting season 2 filming update. Based on the Harry Bosch books by Michael Connelly, Prime Video’s Bosch is considered one of the best modern detective shows. A large part of that comes down to the compelling performance of Titus Welliver.

Even before Bosch, Welliver was known for acting in police dramas and crime shows. He acted in CSI, Sons of Anarchy, and Deadwood, to name a few. This made him the perfect choice to play Bosch in Prime Video’s original series. AcrossBosch and Bosch: Legacy’s nine seasons, Welliver and the writers made Harry Bosch a complex and morally fascinating character. Sadly, his time as the main character of a series came to an end withBosch: Legacy’s divisive finale.

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for Ballard Season 1’s series finale] Prime Video’s Ballard is a quirky outlier in the crime drama crowd. A spinoff of a spinoff, the crime thriller branches off from Bosch: Legacy, which itself originated from the original series Bosch. Both were highly successful streaming titles, yet both were ultimately canceled. Now, as Ballard launches forth and keeps the Bosch universe alive, the new series’ star Maggie Q is well aware of the unusual position she’s in. The show follows Detective Renée Ballard as she takes charge of the LAPD’s newly formed cold case division. A veteran officer recently demoted and disgraced through no fault of her own, Ballard must confront past trauma while fighting to regain the trust of her department—and herself. Her fall from grace began when she reported being assaulted by Detective Robert Olivas (Ricardo Chavira). Instead of receiving support, she was removed from the...

After the end of Bosch: Legacy, franchise vet Madison Lintz has landed her next big TV role.

Per Variety, Lintz is set to star in Eve Ronin, a television adaptation of Lee Goldberg's series of crime novels. She is also on board as an executive producer for the project, which doesn't yet have a network attached. No other cast members have yet been revealed. Other EPs include Craig Dorfman, Lorraine Toussaint, Derek Dudley, and Shelby Stone of ID8 Multimedia.

“I am beyond thrilled to bring Eve Ronin to life,” Lintz said in a statement about the project. “From the moment I picked up Lee’s books, I knew this was a character and a story I needed to be a part of. Eve’s determination, complexity, and resilience make her a dream role, and I am honored to take on this challenge on both sides of the camera.”

Goldberg added,...

In 2011, Matthew McConaughey starred as Mickey Haller in The Lincoln Lawyer. As the legal crime movie finds new success on streaming, fans may be surprised to learn about the connection between Mickey Haller and the hit Prime Video series Bosch.

Both The Lincoln Lawyer and Bosch are based on best-selling novel series by writer Michael Connelly. However, the connection doesn't stop there, as Connelly's Mickey Haller and Harry Bosch book series take place in the same shared universe, with Haller and Bosch depicted as half-brothers. Unfortunately, due to the rights held by different studios, this familial connection has not yet been replicated on screen, which is unfortunate given how popular the Bosch Universe is on its own. As for The Lincoln Lawyer, while the movie was a modest box office hit, grossing $87 million worldwide, it's currently climbing the charts on Paramount+. Per FlixPatrol, the 2011 movie is ranked No. 4 on the...

The Bosch universe might have taken a brief interlude following the recent conclusion of Bosch: Legacy on Prime Video. However, Ballard, featuring Maggie Q in the titular leading role, is doing a commendable job of carrying the banner forward.

Ballard dropped all its episodes together on Prime Video on July 9. One can’t help but appreciate the connections that have tied the final season of Bosch: Legacy and Ballard together. In all fairness, it can be held that the third and final season of Bosch: Legacy consisted of two such episodes that served as staging grounds for what may transpire on the debut season of Ballard.

The third season of Bosch: Legacy once again brought the case of the Flower Girls to attention. An unexpected turn of events led to the introduction of Renee Ballard as the new officer working in conjunction with Harry to lead the case to its conclusion.

Bosch: Legacy may have reached its end, but the world of Harry Bosch is anything but finished. In fact, fans of the long-running Prime Video franchise are already embracing its next chapter — Ballard, the brand-new spin-off led by Maggie Q as Detective Renée Ballard, has shot straight to the top of the streaming charts, currently sitting at #1 on Prime Video. The series picks up the baton from Titus Welliver’s iconic Bosch, continuing the gritty crime storytelling that has defined the franchise for nearly a decade. But while Ballard shares DNA with its predecessor, it isn’t simply Bosch 2.0 — and that’s exactly the point. Speaking to Collider’s Aidan Kelley at the show’s premiere, Maggie Q was clear about what sets her character apart.

“They’re very similar in so many ways. But obviously Harry Bosch is a bit more rogue. Ballard has to color more within...

Prime Video‘s latest hit, Titus Welliver’s Bosch spin-off, Ballard, has officially dethroned We Were Liars. According to FlixPatrol, the series rose to the top of the platform’s streaming chart just days after its July 9 debut. The spin-off series from Michael Connelly’s acclaimed Bosch universe now holds a perfect 100% Rotten Tomatoes score. Maggie Q shines in a powerhouse performance, leading an underfunded LAPD cold case unit.

In Contrast, We Were Liars, which premiered June 18, now sits in second place after a strong but short-lived reign. Viewers are shifting from psychological thrillers to police procedurals. Ballard proves there’s still a huge appetite for morally complex crime dramas.

Big viewers of the CW in the 2010's may have caught this reunion in Maggie Q's newest show Ballard, a spin-off of the wildly popular Bosch. In Ballard, Q reunited with her Nikita co-star Noah Bean. Q played the titular role of Nikita and Bean played Ryan Fletcher. When talking with Collider's Aidan Kelley at the premiere of Ballard, Bean reminisced about his time with Q on Nikita as well as the energy that she brought to the set of Ballard. He explains his character, Jake Pearlman, a city councilman, brings together the cold case team Detective Renee Ballard is now on as she navigates her new place in the LAPD. He says "it was like a total homecoming." As Bean explains, there were similarities as he worked on Ballard between his and Q's characters on both that show and Nikita.

Looking for a new crime show fix? “Ballard” is here for you. And the good news for those who don’t like waiting for new episodes each week, you don’t have to.

Taking place in the “Bosch” universe, “Ballard” centers on Detective Renée Ballard (Maggie Q) as she leads the LAPD’s new cold case division, which is, of course, underfunded as the cases have remained open for quite some time.

“As she peels back layers of crimes spanning decades, including a serial killer’s string of murders and a murdered John Doe, she soon uncovers a dangerous conspiracy within the LAPD,” the synopsis teases.

“With the help of her volunteer team and retired detective Harry Bosch (Titus Welliver), Detective Ballard navigates personal trauma, professional challenges, and life-threatening dangers to expose the truth.”

Here’s when you can watch the spinoff.

For The Lincoln Lawyer star Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, there's one dream collaboration that keeps coming up — and it involves another big name from the Michael Connelly universe. In an exclusive conversation following his press run for Jurassic World Rebirth, Garcia-Rulfo told Collider's Christina Radish he’s 100% on board with the idea of a crossover between Mickey Haller and Harry Bosch (Titus Welliver).

“That would be amazing,” he says with a grin, clearly excited by the possibility. “Because I always wanted to meet Titus, he came to visit one day on set and it was perfect. It was so cool. I would love to work with him, but I guess it’s impossible. It would be amazing though.”

That’s the unfortunate reality: The Lincoln Lawyer is a Netflix series, while Bosch and Bosch: Legacyare Amazon Prime Video properties. Still, it hasn’t stopped fans — or Garcia-Rulfo — from imagining what it...

After being out of the picture for much of Season 3 of Netflix's The Lincoln Lawyer, Maggie McPherson is about to have a big role in what's being billed as the show's most personal yet. Neve Campbell was promoted to a series regular earlier this year when Season 4 was officially ordered, and it all but assured that the attorney would remain close by her ex-husband Mickey Haller's side as he fights the murder charges against him. It's the perfect time for a comeback, as Maggie has long been a fan favorite and an emotional anchor for Mickey, given the history the characters share. Series star Manuel García-Rulfo promises that their ever-evolving relationship will be front and center in the upcoming run, too.

In the wake of his recent role in Jurassic World Rebirth, García-Rulfo recently sat down with Collider's Christina Radish for a larger profile exploring his journey to stardom.
