Jet Wilkinson is set to direct the Season 3 finale of “Bosch: Legacy,” along with the first two episodes of the untitled Renee Ballard series for Prime Video.
Q is known for her starring roles as F.B.I Agent Hannah Wells on ABC and Netflix’s drama “Designated Survivor” and the title role of the CW action series “Nikita.” She was most recently seen in the Skydance and Apple TV+ action comedy “The Family Plan” with Mark Wahlberg. Her other film credits include “The Protégé,” “The Divergent Series,” “Live Free Or Die Hard” and “Mission Impossible III.”
She is repped by CAA, Anonymous Content and Vision PR.
Per the logline, the untitled series will follow Q’s Ballard “who is tasked with running the LAPD’s new cold case division—a poorly funded, all-volunteer unit with the largest case load in the city. Ballard approaches these frozen-in-time cases with empathy and determination. When she uncovers a larger conspiracy during her investigations, she’ll lean on the assistance of her retired ally, Harry Bosch, to navigate the dangers that threaten both her unit and her life.”
Wilkinson will serve as executive producer for the untitled series alongside Michael Connelly, Trish Hofmann, Michael Alaimo and Kendall Sherwood. Henrik Bastin and Melissa Aouate executive produce for Fabel Entertainment, with Jasmine Russ serving as co-executive producer. Co-executive producers also include Jamie Boscardin Martin and Trey Batchelor, with Theresa Snider co-executive producing under Hieronymus Pictures.
