Cross Season 2 Release Date Announced: Prime Video Reveals Official Trailer & Key Art For Season 2 - DEETS

Prime Video has released the official trailer and key art for the second season of Cross, the tense crime thriller based on James Patterson’s characters. The new chapter, led and executive produced by Aldis Hodge, will debut on 11 February 2026 with three episodes, then continue weekly until the finale on 18 March 2026 across more than 240 countries and territories.

The platform’s confidence in Cross season two follows strong numbers for the first season, which drew more than 40 million viewers worldwide in its first 20 days. The series has quickly become one of Prime Video’s standout crime titles, drawing interest from Indian audiences who favour high-stakes investigative dramas.

Cross season two story and characters

Created by executive producer and showrunner Ben Watkins, Cross is set in Washington, D.C. and centres on Alex Cross, played by Aldis Hodge. Cross works as a homicide detective and forensic psychologist, using a sharp understanding of criminal behaviour to enter the minds of killers and stop them before they strike again.

Cross season two moves into a darker phase as billionaire business leader Lance Durand, portrayed by Matthew Lillard, contacts the FBI after a death threat. The warning ties Durand to the killing of a billionaire playboy. Alex Cross teams up with FBI Agent Kayla Craig, played by Alona Tal, to guard Durand and track the murderer, who leaves disturbing clues, while John Sampson, portrayed by Isaiah Mustafa, makes an unexpected link.

The executive producing team includes Sam Ernst, Jim Dunn, J. David Shanks, Aiyana White, Craig Siebels, Owen Shiflett, James Patterson, Bill Robinson, and Patrick Santa, who guide the show’s creative and production choices.
