Prime Video has announced the release date for his series Alex Cross Cross.
All eight episodes of Season 1 will debut on the platform on Thursday, November 14.
Based on the series of novels by James Patterson, the series has already been renewed for a second season. You can watch the official trailer (which was released in May) above.
Crossdirected by Alarming news Producer Ben Watkins, starring Aldis Hodge (Leverage) as the titular detective and forensic psychologist. Cross can access the minds of killers and their victims to solve murders.
“He’s brilliant, flawed and full of contradictions,” Prime Video notes. “A loving father and family man, Cross is so determined that he becomes obsessed when he tracks down killers. He’s desperate to find love, but the murder of his wife has left him too damaged to receive it.”
He also stars in season 1 of the Ryan Eggold series (New Amsterdam), Isaiah Mustafa (Shadowhunters), Alona Tal (Seal Team), Johnny Ray Gill (Underground), Juanita Jennings (Star), Samantha Walkes (The Murdoch Mysteries), Jennifer Wigmore (Malory Towers), Eloise Mumford (Chicago Fire) and child actors Melody Hurd (THEM) and Caleb Elias.
The show has landed Jeanine Mason (Roswell, New Mexico), Matthew Lillard (Good girls) and Wes Chatham (Ahsoka) for Season 2. Executive producers Jim Dunn and Sam Ernst will be promoted to co-showrunners alongside Watkins for the second season.
“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 head of television Vernon Sanders said in a statement.
He continues: “Ben Watkins and his team have created something unique within the crime thriller genre that both long-time fans and newcomers will enjoy. And with over 30 novels written by Patterson featuring Alex Cross as the main protagonist, it was an easy choice to bring Cross back for a second season.”
