The “Bosch” spinoff about cold case detective Renee Ballard has added Courtney Taylor (Abbott Elementary) to its cast, Variety has learned.

Taylor will star alongside series lead Maggie Q in the untitled series, which was picked up to series in November 2023.

Taylor will appear in the series regular role of Samira Parker.



The official character description states:

“Parker is a wary, impulsive, and tough woman with a burning desire for justice. Growing up, most everyone Samira knew shared a healthy distrust of the police, but her grandfather, whom Samira looked up to as a kid, was on the force and believed in using his police badge to protect and aid his community.

However, being a cop now is a different kind of challenge than it was back then. Five years after leaving the police force, Samira’s former mentor, Renee Ballard, convinces her to return to the LAPD’s Cold Case Unit, where she works to right the wrongs of the past and bring peace to families and victims, and in the process, Samira slowly restores her own sense of justice.”
