The crime thriller Cross , based on James Patterson's famous Alex Cross novels, has fans seriously hyped for its second season. After a nail-biting first season on Amazon Prime Video, everyone's itching to jump back into the world of forensic psychologist and detective Alex Cross. Season 2 has already wrapped filming, so the excitement is building. Here's what we know so far about the release date, cast, and what to expect from the new episodes — all the good stuff to get you ready. When's Cross Season 2 Coming Out?
There's no official premiere date yet, but since filming finished in October 2024, post-production is probably in full swing. Looking at how Amazon usually rolls out shows and the timing from Season 1, a mid-to-late 2025 release feels like the best bet. Some reports are guessing fall 2025, maybe November, which would line up nicely with when Season 1 dropped. Who's Back and Who's New in Cross Season 2 Cast?
Season 2 will bring back the familiar faces we loved, along with some fresh characters who promise to shake things up. Aldis Hodge returns as Alex Cross
Isaiah Mustafa is back as John Sampson
Samantha Walkes continues as Elle Monteiro
Johnny Ray Gill moves up to series regular as Bobby Trey
Alona Tal returns as FBI agent Kayla Craig
Plus, the Cross family is back — Juanita Jennings, Melody Hurd, and Caleb Elijah bring the emotional heart with Regina, Janelle, and Damon Cross.
On the new side: Matthew Lillard plays Lance
Jeanine Mason joins as Rebecca
Wes Chatham appears as Donnie Plot Details: What to Expect in Cross Season 2
Cross Season 2, titled Bitter Fruit , won't directly adapt a James Patterson novel but will build on the original storyline from Season 1. The first season ended with Alex Cross taking down the 'Fanboy' killer, Ed Ramsey, and neutralizing a threat to his family from Miss Nancy. However, loose ends—like Bobby Trey's testimony and a larger conspiracy—set the stage for a darker, twist-filled season.
Here's what's known about the plot so far:
A New Case: A fresh murderer takes center stage, distinct from the 'Fanboy' killer. Watkins told Entertainment Weekly the new killer's world will feel 'fun and refreshing,' with a unique vibe compared to Season 1's Hero Complex .
Deeper Conspiracy: Bobby Trey's cooperation with authorities could expose powerful figures tied to Ramsey's crimes, hinting at a broader network of corruption.
Kayla Craig's Mystery: The Season 1 finale's post-credits scene suggested FBI agent Kayla Craig might have hidden motives. Is she connected to the book series' villain Kyle Craig? Watkins isn't spilling, but her role will spark questions.
Personal Struggles: Alex Cross continues to grapple with his wife's murder, which was partially resolved in Season 1. His emotional journey will deepen, exploring what makes a 'monster,' as Walkes hinted to TV Insider.
Character Twists: Mustafa warned that Season 2 will flip what fans know about key characters, revealing new sides to Cross, Sampson, and others. Expect shocking revelations and emotional depth.
Basically, Season 2 looks like it'll be a wild ride — packed with fresh mysteries, emotional depth, and plenty of unexpected twists to keep you hooked.
