Where and when can you see Cross season 2?

Synopsis: In this second season, Washington D.C. detective and forensic psychologist Alex Cross tracks a ruthless killer targeting influential businessmen. As the investigation tightens, Cross is faced with difficult moral choices and a formidable new adversary.

A look back at Season 1 of Cross

The first season of Cross, which aired on Prime Video in November 2024, presented the origins of the characterAlex Cross, a detective and family man scarred by the murder of his wife. Obsessed by the need for justice, he plunged into the minds of the criminals he was tracking. This psychological thriller quickly found its audience thanks to its dramatic tension, its writing focused on the psychology of the killers and Aldis Hodge's performance, hailed for its accuracy and intensity.

Viewers particularly appreciated the way the series explored the hero's duality: between empathy and anger, reason and obsession. The series established itself as one of Prime Video's strongest new offerings of late 2024.

An expanded cast for season 2

Alongside Aldis Hodge, still playing Alex Cross, season 2 welcomes Matthew Lillard, Jeanine Mason and Wes Chatham in new roles. They join the actors already present in the first season: Isaiah Mustafa, Alona Tal, Samantha Walkes, Juanita Jennings, Caleb Elijah, Melody Hurd and Johnny Ray Gill. This strengthened cast promises to deepen the relationship dynamics and moral dilemmas at the heart of the series.

A detective series still focused on psychology

Cross retains its DNA: a blend of suspense, investigation and psychological analysis. Created by Ben Watkins and based on the best-selling novels by James Patterson, the series explores the mental mechanisms of murderers and how Alex Cross manages to decipher them. The tone remains faithful to that of the previous season, in the tradition of Mindhunter or True Detective, with a more emotional and introspective approach.

Who is the Cross series for?

The series will appeal to fans of detective series and psychological thrillers rooted in contemporary reality. Fans of The Collector or Along Came a Spider, also inspired by James Patterson, will find the same taste for mental tension and moral dilemmas. With this new season, Cross should once again appeal to a wide audience on Prime Video.

Produced by Amazon MGM Studios and Paramount Television Studios, the series features a strong cast: Ben Watkins, Aldis Hodge, Sam Ernst, Jim Dunn, J. David Shanks, Aiyana White, Craig Siebels, Owen Shiflett, James Patterson, Bill Robinson and Patrick Santa.
