About season 1, our critic said, “With a stellar supporting cast around him, namely Ryan Eggold, Johnny Ray Gill, and Alona Tal, there isn’t anything lacking in this series. A good mystery crafted around dynamic characters makes Cross (2024) extremely hard to walk away from without pressing play on the next episode. A perfect addition to Reacher, Aldis Hodge stands side by side with Alan Richardson and establishes his own series that I hope keeps getting greenlit for more seasons. I hope that Alex Cross is here to stay.”
What should we expect from Cross Season 2?
Created by executive producer, showrunner, and writer Ben Watkins, the series is based upon the celebrated characters from James Patterson’s best-selling book series. In Season Two, the detective will be in pursuit of a ruthless vigilante who has begun hunting down corrupt billionaire magnates, promising a high-stakes investigation.
