The Cast and Creative Team

Executive producers Markus Brunnemann and Ceylan Yildirim, the head writer, return for Season 2, alongside writers Juliana Lima Dehne and Marlene Melchior. Their efforts aim to create both a visual spectacle and a rich narrative, underscoring the emotional complexities faced by the characters.
The series is produced by UFA Fiction and is supported by the German Motion Picture Fund, which reinforces its significance within the realm of international television productions.
Upcoming Projects: My Nightmare Stalker
In addition to the anticipation surrounding "Maxton Hall," there are also some intriguing projects on the horizon. Paramount has greenlit “My Nightmare Stalker: The Eva LaRue Story,” a deeply personal documentary that is currently in production. This riveting project will feature in-depth interviews with actress Eva LaRue, known for her roles in “CSI: Miami” and “All My Children.”
The documentary aims to illuminate LaRue’s harrowing experiences, detailing how she and her daughter Kaya endured 12 years of stalking. LaRue’s narrative serves as a crucial lens into the broader societal issue of stalking, affecting nearly 13.5 million victims each year.
Shedding Light on Stalking
LaRue describes her experience as a global crisis that remains underreported. “Stalking often involves violence and lasting psychological trauma,” she explained. “Yet many victims are denied justice due to weak laws and limited awareness.” This initiative not only narrates a deeply painful chapter in her life but also seeks to advocate for change in how authorities address stalking cases.
As Susan Zirinsky, the executive producer from See It Now Studios, points out, LaRue’s bravery is commendable. By sharing her story, she seeks to foster understanding and change regarding the challenges victims face. “Eva’s extraordinary talent as an actress is matched only by her remarkable courage,” Zirinsky emphasized—adding a layer of empowerment to LaRue’s narrative.
A New Addition: “Ballard” Trailer Release
Meanwhile, Amazon Prime Video has unveiled the trailer for “Ballard,” a drama series starring Maggie Q and set to expand the “Bosch” universe. Premiering on July 9, “Ballard” follows Detective Renée Ballard as she leads a cold case division in the LAPD, eager to solve long-forgotten crimes while uncovering conspiracies within the force itself.
As Ballard delves into the depths of these cases with her dedicated volunteer team, viewers can expect a compelling mix of personal struggles and professional challenges. The series will feature a cast that includes Courtney Taylor, John Carroll Lynch, and Titus Welliver, adding depth to the gripping storylines.
The creative forces behind “Ballard,” including Michael Connelly, aim to breathe new life into detective dramas, bringing both suspense and emotional stakes to the forefront of the narrative.
Through its diverse array of stories—from the heartfelt saga in Maxton Hall to the gritty realism of Ballard and the impactful documentary on LaRue—Amazon Prime Video continues to entertain and provoke thought, proving the power of storytelling across different genres.
