Cross will return for a second season with new action and several new cast members.
Prime Video announced details about the upcoming season of the police drama in a press release, after New York Comic Con 2025 attendees were treated to a first look at the teaser trailer last week. The teaser shows Alex Cross getting a dire warning about avoiding danger to “stay alive.”
The eight-episode second season debuts on Wednesday, Feb. 11, 2026, with three episodes. Then, a new episode will follow each week leading up to the season finale on March 18.
Based on characters from James Patterson’s best-selling book series, the thriller features Aldis Hodge as Alex Cross, a Washington, D.C. homicide detective and forensic psychologist, who gets into the minds of killers to identify and catch them.

Season 2 will follow Cross as he pursues a “ruthless vigilante who is hunting down corrupt billionaire magnates,” according to the official description.
The new season brings new cast members Matthew Lillard (Bosch and The Bridge), Jeanine Mason (Roswell, New Mexico and Upload), and Wes Chatham (Tenet and The Expanse).
They join returning stars Isaiah Mustafa, Alona Tal, Samantha Walkes, Juanita Jennings, Caleb Elijah, Melody Hurd, and Johnny Ray Gill.
In a recent interview with Screen Rant, Hodge said the new season will be dark and Cross is “probably gonna need some more therapy” after season 2.”
The entire first season debuted on Nov. 14, 2024. The series claimed the No. 1 position on Nielsen’s streaming charts for Nov. 11-17, after logging 1.36 billion minutes of viewing, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The outlet reported 40 million viewers worldwide watched at least part of the season over the first three weeks of release.
