New York Comic Con attendees received a gift during the panel for Prime Video’s crime thriller Cross. The series, starring Aldis Hodge (City on a Hill, Invisible Man) as James Patterson’s (Along Came a Spider, The President’s Daughter) Alex Cross, will launch its second season on Wednesday, February 11, with a three-episode premiere. The date announcement was accompanied by a teaser trailer, which is posted below.

Executive produced by Hodge, Cross follows the DC Metro Police Department homicide detective and forensic psychologist as he solves the most intricate crimes, bringing the most heinous-minded criminals to justice. Season one found Alex courting a homicidal socialite obsessed with serial killers. As he battled to keep the city — and his family — safe, he treaded water not to succumb to his own grief over his wife’s unsolved murder. He returns for season two, chasing a vigilante targeting billionaire scions.

Prime Video had a similar panel at last year’s NYCC, revealing a first look at the debut season with a November release. Originally picked up for a two-season order in 2022, the first season had a total of eight episodes. Season two will have the same episode count.

Previous mxdwn reporting tallied the first season reached 40 million views globally in its first 20 days, just behind Prime heavy-hitters Fallout and Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.

According to the press release, returning faces include Isaiah Mustafa (It Chapter Two, Shadowhunters), Alona Tal (SEAL Team, Broke City), Samantha Walkes (The Kings of Napa, Deadly Estate), Juanita Jenings (Daddy’s Little Girls, Runaway Jury), Caleb Elijah (True Story, ReVerso), Melody Hurd (Them, Fatherhood), and Johnny Ray Gill (Underground, Rectify). New additions to the cast include Wes Chatham (The Expanse, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1), Jeanine Mason (Roswell, Grey’s Anatomy), and Matthew Lillard (The Life of Chuck, Teen Titans Go!).

Cross is executive-produced by creator and showrunner Ben Watkins (Burn Notice, Truth Be Told), Sam Ernst (Daredevil, Hand of God), Jim Dunn (Carnival Row, Crisis), J. David Shanks (Seven Seconds, 61st Street), Aiyana White (Lucifer, Tiny Pretty Things), Craig Siebels (The Gifted, Complications), Owen Shiflett (Boygood, Blood Machines), Bill Robinson (Instinct, The Commuter), Patrick Santa (One Night in Idaho: The College Murders), Patterson, and Hodge.
