Amazon Announces Premiere Date for New ‘Alex Cross’ Series

The Alex Cross series Cross’s launch date has been revealed by Prime Video.

On Thursday, November 14, the first eight episodes of Season 1 will be available on the platform.

The second season of the show, which is based on James Patterson’s novel series, has already been renewed. The official trailer, which debuted in May, is shown above.

Under the direction of Ben Watkins, producer of Burn Notice, Aldis Hodge (Leverage) plays the title role of forensic psychologist and investigator in Cross. Cross solves murders by entering the heads of both the victim and the killer.

According to Prime Video, he is “brilliant, flawed, and full of contradictions.” “A doting father and family man, Cross 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.”

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), Ryan Eggold (New Amsterdam), and child actors Melody Hurd (THEM) and Caleb Elijah also have prominent roles in Season 1 of the show.

“Bringing one of James Patterson’s most iconic literary characters to life for our global Prime Video customers was a dream come true, and we can’t wait for everyone to see Aldis Hodge’s dynamic performance as Cross,” Amazon MGM Studios TV chief Vernon Sanders said in a statement.

It continues: “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.”
