In Cross Season 1, Alex Cross is back, and we\u2019re incredibly excited about it!<\/p>\n
Prime Video<\/a> has picked up Cross, an adaptation of the prolific James Patterson series. It\u2019s a star-studded affair onscreen and off.<\/p>\n As one of the year\u2019s most highly-anticipated series, we\u2019re here to share everything you need to know about Cross and what\u2019s to come.<\/p>\n Cross is just another in many adaptations of James Patterson<\/a>\u2018s popular bestselling crime mystery series about a D.C. detective, Alex Cross.<\/p>\n The series was first introduced in 1993 and has 32 novels that complete the entire series.<\/p>\n It also has two novellas and at least three spinoff books in which Alex\u2019s son, Ali, takes center stage and solves mysteries of his own.<\/p>\n Related: Reacher Season 3: Everything We Know So Far<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Cross will likely be an adaptation of one of the books from the series, potentially even Cross itself.<\/p>\n However, that\u2019s mere speculation, and we don\u2019t have any confirmation about which novel the series will adapt.<\/p>\n If you were wary about yet another adaptation of the popular detective, fret not.<\/p>\n James Patterson is heavily involved with the production of this series.<\/p>\n He serves as an executive producer and others associated with James Patterson Entertainment.<\/p>\n If that isn\u2019t exciting enough, Burn Notice<\/a>\u2018s Ben Watkins is also an EP and showrunner.<\/p>\n The series hails from Skydance Television, which is also behind Reacher.<\/p>\n Cross will focus on the central character, Alex Cross, a Metro PD detective and forensic psychologist.<\/p>\n Cross digs deep into the mindsets of killers<\/a>, suspects, and victims, making him a powerhouse in case-solving.<\/p>\n Related: Why Tracker and Reacher Are Peak Drifterpreneur TV<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n According to the streamer, Cross is \u201cbrilliant, flawed, and full of contradictions.\u201d<\/p>\n They also describe the series as a \u201ctwisted, complex, pulse-pounding thriller.\u201d<\/p>\n According to the official press site:<\/p>\n Cross is a crime\/thriller series that follows Alex Cross, a decorated D.C. homicide detective and forensic psychologist who faces a sadistic serial killer leaving a string of bodies strewn around the city. As Alex and his partner, John Sampson, track this killer, a mysterious threat from Cross\u2019 past appears, aiming to destroy what he\u2019s done to keep his grieving family, career, and life together.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n We\u2019re ecstatic about this star-studded cast for this series, particularly the star playing the titular character.<\/p>\n Hodge has quite the resume.<\/p>\n He\u2019s played many diverse roles in his career, from beloved series to blockbuster hits and gritty dramas.<\/p>\n Hodge has starred in many roles, from Leverage <\/a>to D.C.\u2019s Black Adam, One Night in Miami, Underground, and City on a Hill.<\/p>\n He\u2019s a brilliant actor.<\/p>\n We can\u2019t think of a better person to helm this series!<\/p>\n Mustafa, a former athlete turned actor, has appeared in those endearing Old Spice commercials and has played the beloved guardian werewolf Luke in Shadowhunters.<\/p>\n He\u2019ll costar with Hodge as Cross\u2019 partner, John Sampson.<\/p>\n Related: New Amsterdam\u2019s Abysmal Final Season Could Not Be Resuscitated<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n The New Amsterdam<\/a> star is taking on a very different role after closing a chapter on the medical drama and hanging up the white coat.<\/p>\n And it\u2019ll be exciting to see him with a fresh start.<\/p>\n Gill is a stage and screen actor known for being a scene-stealer.<\/p>\n Gill brings such gravitas to everything you encounter him in.<\/p>\n He starred in Underground <\/a>alongside Hodge.<\/p>\n He also appeared in BrainDead<\/a>, Rectify, and Harry\u2019s Law.<\/a><\/p>\n The Cross Season 1 cast includes Eloise Mumford, Juanita Jennings, Caleb Elijah, Melody Hurd, Alona Tal, Samantha Walkes, and Jennifer Wigmore.<\/p>\n Some of the best news yet is that we won\u2019t have much longer to wait to tune into this series.<\/p>\n The Fall 2024 season looks promising after months of uncertainty during the dual strikes.<\/p>\n Related: Procedural Overkill: TV\u2019s Favorite Genre Has Overtaken Primetime. Is It Too Much of a Good Thing?<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n The first season of Cross will premiere on November 14.<\/p>\n This crime-thriller series will premiere on Prime Video this fall, making waves and keeping everyone talking.<\/p>\n If you don\u2019t have your subscription to the streamer already, you better get on it now!<\/p>\n Cross\u2019 entire season consists of eight episodes.<\/p>\n It\u2019s better than the three- to six-episode formula we typically see in crime thrillers and procedurals across the pond.<\/p>\n But it\u2019s shorter than the 10- to 13-episode count that we\u2019ve come to expect with series that premiere on streamers.<\/p>\n Hopefully, Cross will make every second of that eight-count season worth our while.<\/p>\n We know that opinions on this topic can vary.<\/p>\n It\u2019s also been the source of discussion and is often widely debated<\/a> regarding some of the most successful series.<\/p>\n Related: Heavy on the Rizz: The Most Charismatic Men on TV<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n We\u2019d love for a slower release of this series so we could genuinely savor all the episodes and foster some genuine discussion, but that won\u2019t be the case.<\/p>\n For those of you who love a full-season release to binge at once, you\u2019re in luck!<\/p>\n Unlike Reacher and The Summer I Turned Pretty<\/a>, all eight episodes of Cross will drop on November 19.<\/p>\n If you are unsure how much faith the streamer has in this series, let this put you at ease.<\/p>\n Amazon has announced Cross\u2019 second season renewal well ahead of the series premiere.<\/p>\n Not only do we know that the series will be returning for a second season, but we also know who will star alongside Hodge.<\/p>\n The sophomore season will likely revolve around a different book, bringing new cast members.<\/p>\n The sophomore season will star Jeanine Mason of Roswell, New Mexico, as Rebecca, a vengeful and ambitious judge.<\/p>\n Scream legend and Good Girls<\/a> star Matthew Lillard will likely play Lance, a cold-blooded business tycoon.<\/p>\n![\"A](\"https:\/\/cdn.tvfanatic.com\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Cross-EWK-Lead.jpg\")
