Following May’s teaser, we now have a longer look at Cross season 1. 

Drawing on James Patterson‘s extensive bestselling book series, Cross stars Aldis Hodge (Leverage: Redemption) in the title role.

Alex Cross is the detective who catches killers by delving into their psyches, as well as those of their victims. He’s previously appeared on the big screen played by Morgan Freeman, and more recently, Tyler Perry.

Of course, as well as his remarkable abilities, Alex Cross is a troubled soul grieving for his wife and raising two children. As the intense trailer shows, this first case will get very personal.

Prime Video describe Cross as “… a complex, twisted, pulse-pounding thriller”. They clearly have faith in the show too, as the second season already in the works.

Joining Hodge, the first season also stars Isaiah Mustafa, Juanita Jennings, Alona Tal, Samantha Walkes, Caleb Elijah, Melody Hurd, Jennifer Wigmore, Eloise Mumford, and Ryan Eggold.

Cross comes from showrunner and executive producer Ben Watkins (Burn Notice), with Hodge and author James Patterson also in the producing team.

The show is produced by Amazon MGM Studios, Paramount Television Studios, and Skydance Television. This is the group of companies responsible for the recent successful series adaptations of Reacher and Jack Ryan. With the latter now concluded, we imagine Cross is being eyed as an ideal replacement.

Cross Season 1 lands on Thursday, 14th November 2024 when the streamer drops all eight episodes.
