Get ready for a thrilling ride as Aldis Hodge returns to the screen in a heart-pounding teaser for Cross Season 2, where the stakes are higher than ever. Hodge reprises his role as the brilliant detective and forensic psychologist, Alex Cross, who dives deep into the twisted minds of killers to bring them to justice. But here's where it gets intense: this season, Cross isn't just chasing criminals—he's up against a ruthless vigilante targeting corrupt billionaires, raising questions about justice, morality, and the blurred lines between hero and villain. Is this vigilante a hero or a dangerous threat?
In the first season, based on James Patterson’s best-selling novel series, Cross faced off against a narcissistic serial killer played by Ryan Eggold, while also uncovering a shocking stalker threatening his family. The season ended on a jaw-dropping cliffhanger, leaving fans on the edge of their seats. Creator and showrunner Ben Watkins revealed to The Hollywood Reporter that he has a four-year plan for the series, aiming to explore and honor the rich characters from the Alex Cross book series. But here’s the kicker: Watkins dreams of a 10-season run, promising a deep dive into the complexities of Cross’s world.
Season 2 amps up the action with Cross and his partner, Detective John Sampson (Isaiah Mustafa), hitting the gritty streets of Washington D.C. in high-speed car chases and gun-drawn takedowns. And this is the part most people miss: the teaser hints at a case so unprecedented that even special agent Kayla Craig (Alona Tal) is stunned, declaring, ‘I’ve never seen anything like this.’ Could this be Cross’s most challenging case yet?
The returning cast, including Samantha Walkes, Juanita Jennings, Caleb Elijah, Melody Hurd, and Johnny Ray Gill, is joined by exciting new additions: Matthew Lillard, Jeanine Mason, and Wes Chatham, announced at New York Comic Con. Produced by Amazon MGM Studios and Paramount Television Studios, the new season drops globally on Prime Video on February 11, 2026, with the first three episodes. New episodes will premiere weekly, leading up to the finale on March 18.
But here’s the controversial question: As Cross chases a vigilante who’s technically targeting ‘bad guys,’ will he start to question his own moral compass? And what does this say about society’s growing frustration with the wealthy and powerful? Let us know your thoughts in the comments—this is one debate you won’t want to miss!
