Coming on the heels of the show’s renewal we now have a premiere date for Cross starring Aldis Hodge.
Cross is a TV adaption of the best selling Alex Cross novels from James Patterson. The character had previously appeared on the Big Screen on three occasions. Morgan Freeman and then Tyler Perry played the detective and psychologist..
Synopsis
The show is a twisted thriller about the titular character (Aldis Hodge), a detective and forensic psychologist, uniquely capable of digging into the psyches of killers and their victims, in order to identify — and ultimately capture — the murderer.
Alex Cross is brilliant, flawed, and full of contradictions. A doting father and family man, he is single-minded to the point of obsession when he hunts killers. He is desperate for love, but his wife’s murder has left him too damaged to receive it.
Cross Season 1 stars includes Ryan Eggold (New Amsterdam), Isaiah Mustafa (Shadowhunters), Alona Tal (SEAL Team), Johnny Ray Gill (Underground), Juanita Jennings (Star), Samantha Walkes (Murdoch Mysteries), Jennifer Wigmore (Malory Towers), Eloise Mumford (Chicago Fire) and child actors Melody Hurd (THEM) and Caleb Elijah.
Season 2 Renewal
Amazon MGM Studios TV chief Vernon Sanders had this to say about Cross and the decision to renew:
“Bringing one of James Patterson’s most iconic literary characters to life for our global Prime Video customers was a dream come true. We can’t wait for everyone to see Aldis Hodge’s dynamic performance as Cross. Ben Watkins and his team have created something unique within the crime-thriller genre that long-time fans and newcomers alike will all enjoy. And with over 30 novels written by Patterson featuring Alex Cross as his main protagonist, it was an easy choice to bring Cross back for a second season.”
Prime Video revealed that all eight episodes of Season 1 will be available to stream on Thursday 14 November 2024. Are you planning on watching?
