Deadline reports that Cross is on its third season and along with it gains a long time character. Ethan Embry (Scream 7, That Thing You Do) joins Cross which continues Monday, April 13, in Toronto, Canada.
According to Deadline, Embry plays Fredrick who is a strong, fiery, yet generous coach that tries to toughen those he loves up, making them feel seen, making everyone envy and respect him. The characters are from a thriller novel that was written by James Patterson which had taken place in Washington DC. The book follows Alex Cross as the main lead, who is a forensic and reporting detective and is able to think like a criminal and identify them, being able to capture them.
Deadline writes that season two is all about being in pursuit of a heathen that was on the run, killing corrupt millionaires for fun. Cross was renewed for a third season and will continue to work on its world building as well as characters, and storytelling. The thriller will have very powerful performances and give more high stakes, that might pay off.
