Amazon Renews Cross For Season 3

In a new press release, Amazon confirmed that Cross has been renewed for Season 3 on Prime Video. According to the studio, Season 3 of Cross will consist of eight episodes, which will be co-produced by Paramount Television and Amazon-MGM. The series is based on the Alex Cross novels by author James Patterson, which spawned a series of over twenty books, and three movie adaptations (Kiss the Girls, Along Came a Spider, Alex Cross), before this TV series reboot.

Actor Aldis Hodge (Black Adam) leads the cast as Detective Alex Cross, taking on a role previously played in the films by Morgan Freeman and Tyler Perry. Co-starring in the show is Old Spice commercial actor Isaiah Mustafa as Cross’s partner, Detective John Sampson, Juanita Jennings (Meet the Browns) as Alex’s grandmother, Regina, and other recurring actors who show up as either allies or suspects. As of Season 2, the show has featured Matthew Lillard, Jeanine Mason, and Wes Chatham, Alona Tal, Samantha Walkes, Juanita Jennings, Caleb Elijah, Melody Hurd, and Johnny Ray Gill.

“From the beginning, Cross has captivated audiences with its layered characters, pulse-pounding suspense, and emotionally grounded storytelling,” said Peter Friedlander, Head of Global Television, Amazon MGM Studios. “Aldis has delivered a definitive portrayal of Alex Cross, anchoring the series with depth, intelligence, and heart. We’re thrilled to continue this journey with Ben, our collaborators at Paramount Television Studios, and the rest of the incredible cast to bring even more of James Patterson’s iconic world to our global Prime Video audience.”

Cross Is Officially A Major Hit For Prime Video

According to Amazon, Cross Season 1 drew “40 million viewers globally in its first 20 days on Prime Video.

Meanwhile, John Sampson (Isaiah Mustafa), Cross’ partner and longtime best friend, makes an unexpected connection.”
