Cross Season 2: Release date speculation, cast and plot details – Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on August 12, 2025, 19:30 IST Last updated August 12, 2025, 12:14 IST 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.

Emma Forrest's Upcoming Novel ‘Father Figure' Set for See-Saw Films Adaptation
See-Saw Films (part of the Mediawan group) has optioned Emma Forrest's upcoming novel Father Figure. The book will be adapted for television by See-Saw's label, Fanboy, run by executive producer Patrick Walters. Following Fanboy's hit series Sweetpea for Sky Atlantic, and the option of Harry Trevaldwyn's Romantic Tragedies of a Drama King, the company next turns its attention to Forrest's coming-of-age thriller.

'Impulsive, bored, and yearning for connection, she's at that dangerous age when you want to be picked up by men and driven home by your mother,' a plot synopsis reads. 'Ezra is rich, powerful, and successful, haunted by the wildness of his youth — and by anxiety over his teenage daughter, Agata. When Agata joins Saint Saviours, Gail and Ezra's lives collide, setting off a chain of events more dangerous than either could ever predict.' Also executive producing the series will be Helen Gregory, Iain Canning, Emile Sherman and Forrest herself. Father Figure is the latest in a series of literary options for See-Saw, who also recently acquired the rights to Shifters by Benedict Lombe, and Welcome to Glorious Tuga by Francesca Segal, alongside a first-look deal with writer Ben Vanstone. Forrest's book will be published July 3 with Weidenfeld & Nicolson, an imprint of Orion Publishing Group. 'Not to be too on theme, but I am as giddy as an unbalanced teenage girl to have found at See-Saw and fanboy people so connected to my material, whose ambition and aesthetic so closely mirror my own,' said Forrest. 'I know Patrick and Natasha are without question the ones to help me translate my novel to must watch TV.' Walters added: 'Father Figure is an incredible novel and we're so excited to be adapting it for television. Emma is a singular talent I've long admired since the seminal Your Voice in My Head. In Gail she has created an extraordinary literary heroine who I've no doubt will burst on to the screen with an electric force.'
