By Amazon Prime Video has released the trailer for the series premiere of “Cross,” starring Aldis Hodge as detective and forensic psychologist Alex Cross from the James Patterson novels.
In addition, the streamer has officially given the Skydance-produced project an early second season renewal – not unexpected as prep for production on a second run was previously revealed as being underway.
From creator, showrunner and executive producer Ben Watkin, the twisted thriller series follows the character who is uniquely capable of digging into the psyches of killers and their victims, to identify – and ultimately capture – the murderers.
Isaiah Mustafa, Juanita Jennings, Alona Tal, Samantha Walkes, Caleb Elijah, Melody Hurd, Jennifer Wigmore, Eloise Mumford and Ryan Eggold co-star.
Second season cast members will include Wes Chatham, Matthew Lillard and Jeanine Mason. Johnny Ray Gill will be bumped up to a series regular role.
Morgan Freeman portrayed the Alex Cross character in the films “Kiss the Girls” in 1997 and “Along Came a Spider” in 2001. Amazon has yet to set a premiere date for the first season beyond it coming sometime later this year.
Jim Dunn, Sam Ernst, Craig Siebels, James Patterson, Bill Robinson, Patrick Santa, David Ellison, Dana Goldberg and Matt Thunell all executive produce. Dunn and Ernst will serve as co-showrunners on the second season.
