Prime Video will launch crime thriller series Cross, starring Aldis Hodge, on November 14. Based on characters from James Patterson’s Alex Cross book series, it stars Hodge as Cross, a decorated Washington, D.C., homicide detective and forensic psychologist who faces a sadistic serial killer who has left a string of bodies strewn around the city.
The eight-episode series also stars Isiah Mustafa, Juanita Jennings, Alona Tal, and Samantha Walkes.
Prime Video has already renewed the Paramount Television Studios and Skydance Television-produced series for a second season. Cross executive producers include Patterson, Ben Watkins, Sam Ernst, Jim Dunn, Craig Siebels, Bill Robinson, Patrick Santa, David Ellison, Dana Goldberg and Bill Bost.
Patterson’s Alex Cross character has been portrayed in several theatrical films, including Morgan Freeman in Kiss the Girls (1997) and Along Came a Spider (2001), as well as by Tyler Perry in Alex Cross (2012).
