Prime Video is in the midst of airing one of the biggest TV shows of the year in The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, and there’s another intriguing series coming soon that just got an exciting first look. Prime has officially unveiled the highly-anticipated first trailer for Cross, the crime thriller series based on the novels by James Patterson which will see Aldis Hodge step into the role of the titular detective, Alex Cross. The series dives into the psyches of both killers and their victims in order to capture dangerous criminals. The first trailer for the series sees Alex Cross at his lowest point, struggling with inner turmoil and to gain the upper hand on someone who wants both him and his family dead, at any cost.
In addition to starring in the series, Aldis Hodge will also executive produce. Cross comes from creator Ben Watkins, who is best known for his work on Burn Notice, the TV series which ran from 2007 to 2013 that he served as an executive producer and staff writer and story editor on. He also teamed up with Prime Video for another crime drama, The Hand of God, which stars Ron Pearlman in the lead role and even features The Office veteran Brian Baumgartner, who plays Kevin in the hit sitcom series, in a supporting role. Prime has also built a strong cast around Hodge for Cross, with Isaiah Mustafa, Stacie Greenwell, and Ryan Eggold, who will play lead roles in the series, along with Siobhan Murphy, Ashley Rios, and many more are set for supporting roles.
