Cross Season 1 OTT Release Date: Aldis Hodge Starrer Thriller Series To Premiere On Prime Video On This Date

Prime Videos’ new crime thriller series, Cross, launches on November 14, 2024, offering a new take on the character with Aldis Hodge in the lead role. Adapted for television by series creator and executive producer Ben Watkins, Cross explores the complexities of Alex Cross, forensic psychologist and veteran DC detective. Unlike previous film adaptations, the series delves deeper into Cross’ personal life, presenting a raw and intimate portrait of his family dynamics, friendships, and vulnerabilities.
Watkins positioned Hodges’ portrayal as more nuanced, portraying Cross as a well-rounded detective with layers of personality and emotion, delivering a storyline that goes beyond solving crimes to reflect on personal losses, moral conflicts and to the harsh reality of his profession.

When and where to watch Cross

Cross season 1 debuts on Prime Video on November 14, with all eight episodes available to stream immediately. The brand did this announcement on its official X handle. This simultaneous release gives audiences the opportunity to fully immerse themselves in the series without waiting every week. Prime Videos’ decision to drop the season in one fell swoop aligns with the platforms’ trend for high-stakes drama series, attracting binge-watchers and crime thriller fans alike.

The Cross trailer introduces viewers to Alex Cross, who is thrust into an ongoing investigation involving a prolific serial killer. The series follows his efforts, alongside his partner John Sampson (played by Isaiah Mustafa), to track down the killer and confront the dark secrets from Cross’ past that threaten his personal life. The plot takes viewers through his journey, balancing high-stakes cases and the emotional burden of protecting his family.
