‘Cross’ Season 2 Trailer Reveals a New Serial Killer (VIDEO)
Goodbye to the Fanboy killer, and hello to an entirely new one. Cross is coming back for Season 2 with an all-new serial killer, and the first trailer for the Prime Video crime drama’s next bow is finally here.
In it, we meet a new threat for the genius title detective to hunt down… and his billionaire target. Read on to find out what else to expect from Cross Season 2.
When will Cross Season 2 premiere?
Cross‘ next bow will premiere on Amazon Prime Video on February 11, 2026, with the first three of its eight episodes. The season finale will debut on March 18.
Who will star in Cross Season 2?
Returning for Season 2 are several Season 1 stars, including Hodge, Mustafa, and Walkes, to name a few. Gill will be promoted to series regular, and Season 2 will see the addition of actors Matthew Lillard, Wes Chatham, and Jeanine Mason. Jim Dunn and Sam Ernst will become co-showrunners for Season 2.
What book will Cross Season 2 be based on?
The first season of Cross was not based on a specific book from James Patterson’s Alex Cross series. Similarly, Season 2 is based more broadly on Patterson’s book series.
What will happen in Cross Season 2?
The logline for Cross Season 2 reads, “Season 2 pushes the series into a bolder, more dangerous chapter as billionaire business titan Lance Durand calls the FBI for protection after receiving a death threat — one that links him to the murder of a billionaire playboy. Detective Alex Cross and FBI Agent Kayla Craig lead a new joint mission to protect Durand and to find the killer, who leaves behind gruesome clues. Meanwhile, John Sampson, Cross’ partner and longtime best friend, makes an unexpected connection.”
Is there a trailer for Cross Season 2?
Prime Video revealed the above-embedded trailer for Season 2 on January 8, revealing what challenges Alex Cross will face in the next season. In the trailer, we see that Lillard’s Lance Durand, CEO of Crestbrook Industries, is the target of a determined new killer, a mysterious woman who’s systematically getting revenge against the people on her list, which also appears to include a number of people associated with Lance’s company, including a banker, a government agent, and more. Cross will work with his Metropolitan Police Department colleagues and the FBI on the case as they work to solve the crime spree before any more blood is shed.
Where did Cross Season 1 leave off?
After playing an epic game of cat and mouse, Alex Cross (Aldis Hodge) finally managed to get the upper hand on Ed Ramsey (Ryan Eggold) just in time to save Shannon (Eloise Mumford) from becoming his final victim. On top of that, Cross — with the help of his best friend and partner John Sampson (Isaiah Mustafa) — managed to stop the woman who’d been taunting and threatening his family, Miss Nancy (Karen Robinson), before she did something truly horrific to the children. Now both threats have been neutralized — at least, for now — and Cross appears ready to go on to lead a happy, peaceful life with his girlfriend Elle (Samantha Walkes) and his family… at least, for now. Meanwhile, Bobby Trey (Johnny Ray Gill), who’d been working with Ramsey, seems ready to strike a cooperation deal with the authorities.
What else is there to know about Cross Season 2?
Isaiah Mustafa previously warned TV Insider readers that Season 2 will flip what we know about some of the show’s characters completely upside down. “In the first season, you get to know everybody,” he explained. “Whatever you know about those characters in the first season, be prepared to see something completely different in the second season. You will learn more.” And Mustafa isn’t the only one warning of a rough ride ahead with the show’s sophomore run.
Samantha Walkes teased, “I would say to our audiences, ‘Hold on. Hold on and have faith because this is about to be a really bumpy ride. And get ready with your popcorn because there’s also a lot of fun.'”

Alona Tal, who plays FBI agent Kayla Craig, added that she found the criminal case at hand in Season 2 to be a doozy: “There’s something about the mystery in Season 2 that touched me on a very personal level that it kind of even — you double down on the emotional investment from the mystery of Season 1, which is still as a woman you’re invested in it. And that goes even further in Season 2,” she warned.
Walkes expounded on Tal’s point by adding, “We’ll ask the audience, ‘Really, what is a monster?’ And I would love if the audience in Season 2 answered that for themselves first, then watched because sometimes a monster really isn’t a monster. Sometimes a monster under the bed isn’t what we think it is. And it is really just human.”

Really good series. I love the James Patterson books especially Alex Cross. Good story line that wasn’t about a specific book but all the characters are directly from the Alex Cross books. Too bad the Will Trent show didn’t do same. Don’t know what Slaughter was thinking.

I really liked it. Loved all the Alex Cross books. This was a good representation of the stories. BUT! Why is the filming so dark? For the most part I couldn’t see what was going on but just followed the audio. Please consider more lighting in the filming.

I simply loved Season 1. I binged watch the episodes in 1 day and repeated the same process about 2 weeks later. The 1st episode got me hooked...so well done as well as the surprises along the well.
I cannot wait for Season 2.

I was worried this would be a one season and done type series but it’s so well acted and exciting. I loved the books so I’m surprised how much I love the series. That never happens!
