Sounds like J. Edgar with the feds in Miami, Renee doing L.A. cold case work.

Oh fuck yeah! More Jamie Hector is always a good thing.
I assume that means we get an introduction to Ballard this season?
Also damn it Netflix of depriving us of a complete Bosch universe!

Here's the series descriptions from the article:
Here are details about the two new proposed Bosch spinoffs:
“Untitled J. Edgar” Show
“Untitled J. Edgar” Show
- Logline: A police drama following Harry Bosch’s former partner, Detective Jerry Edgar, who is tapped for an undercover FBI mission in Little Haiti, Miami.

- EPs: Michael Connelly, Larry Andries
- The producing team on behalf of Fabel Entertainment will include executive producers Henrik Bastin and Melissa Aouate, and co-executive producer Jasmine Russ.

Having learned from retired ally and mentor Harry Bosch, Renee does things her way – solving cases in unconventional ways while navigating the politics of being a woman on the rise in the LAPD.

I'm sure Connelly and company are already looking at people for Ballard, but a casting probably won't get announced until Bosch Legacy season 2 premieres or around that time frame. I know season 2 is already in production.

Is Renee a book character? I'm drawing a blank on who she is from the show.

This LAPD cop is the inspiration for the Renee Ballard character from the book.

I know it's just the audio book voice, but I wonder if they'll look at Christine Lakin for Ballard. I always liked her as an actress... but she isn't Polynesian.

Wonder if she would even have time. She does a ton of voice over work along with the audiobooks.

Excellent. I would have to assume we will see the character introduced next season in Bosch
