Prime Video has unveiled the first look glimpses of the second season of Cross, headlined by Aldis Hodge, who plays Alex Cross, the eponymous investigator who was the central character in the series of Alex Cross novels written by James Patterson.
The new season, comprising eight episodes, will premiere on February 11, with the first three episodes, followed by one episode each week, through the season finale on March 18. It is produced by Amazon MGM Studios and Paramount Television Studios, with Hodge serving as an executive producer.
Here's the official logline for the second season: "Cross is a complex, twisted, pulse-pounding thriller created by executive producer, showrunner, and writer Ben Watkins, based upon the characters from James Patterson’s best-selling Alex Cross book series. The Washington, D.C. crime drama follows Alex Cross (Aldis Hodge), a brilliant homicide detective and forensic psychologist, uniquely capable of digging into the minds of murderers in order to identify and catch them. In Season Two, Cross is in pursuit of a ruthless vigilante who is hunting down corrupt billionaire magnates."
Season Two brings new cast members Matthew Lillard, Jeanine Mason, and Wes Chatham, while returning cast members include Isaiah Mustafa, Alona Tal, Samantha Walkes, Juanita Jennings, Caleb Elijah, Melody Hurd, and Johnny Ray Gill.
Other executive producers include Sam Ernst, Jim Dunn, J. David Shanks, Aiyana White, Craig Siebels, Owen Shiflett, James Patterson, Bill Robinson, and Patrick Santa.
Cross joins other notable Prime Video titles in the investigative thriller category, such as Bosch and its spin-off, Ballard.
Hodge is familiar to movie buffs through his work in One Night in Miami (also on Prime Video), Black Adam, and Hidden Figures.
