Alex Cross Chases A Killer Who's Building A 'Masterpiece' In New Trailer For Prime Video Adaptation

A fiendish serial killer is compiling a "masterpiece" in the new trailer for Prime Video's Cross — and Aldis Hodge's titular crimesolver is determined to stop him.

In Cross, which is based on characters from the James Patterson novels and is shepherded by Burn Notice vet Ben Watkins, Hodge (Leverage) plays Alex Cross, who is uniquely capable of digging into the psyches of killers and their victims, in order to identify — and ultimately capture — the murderers. Alex is "brilliant, flawed, and full of contradictions," per the streamer. "A doting father and family man single-minded to the point of obsession when he hunts killers. He is desperate for love, but his wife's murder has left him too damaged to receive it."

In addition to Hodge, Cross' Season 1 ensemble includes Ryan Eggold (New Amsterdam), Isaiah Mustafa (Shadowhunters), Alona Tal (SEAL Team), Johnny Ray Gill (Underground), Juanita Jennings (Star), Samantha Walkes (Murdoch Mysteries), Jennifer Wigmore (Malory Towers), Eloise Mumford (Chicago Fire) and child actors Melody Hurd (THEM) and Caleb Elijah.

For the already-greenlit Season 2, Jeanine Mason (Roswell, New Mexico), Matthew Lillard (Good Girls) and Wes Chatham (Ahsoka) are all confirmed to join the cast, while executive producers Jim Dunn and Sam Ernst have been elevated to co-showrunners alongside Watkins.

All eight Season 1 episodes will hit Prime Video on Thursday, November 14.
