Cross Season 1 OTT Release Date: Everything You Need to Know

Prime Videos’ new crime thriller series Cross launches on November 14, 2024, offering a fresh take on the character starring Aldis Hodge. Adapted for television by series creator and executive producer Ben Watkins, Cross explores the complexities of Alex Cross, a forensic psychologist and seasoned DC detective. Unlike previous film adaptations, the series delves deeper into Cross’ personal life and presents a raw and intimate portrayal of his family dynamics, friendships and vulnerabilities.
Watkins has positioned the portrayal of Hodges in a more nuanced way, portraying Cross as a multifaceted detective with layers of personality and emotion, and delivering a storyline that goes beyond solving crimes and ponders personal losses, moral conflicts and the gritty reality of his profession.

When and where to watch Cross

Cross Season 1 debuts on Prime Video on November 14, with all eight episodes immediately available for streaming. The brand created this announcement on the official X handle. This all-in-one release gives audiences the opportunity to fully immerse themselves in the series without having to wait every week. Prime Video’s decision to cancel the season all at once is in line with the platform’s trend for high-stakes drama series, which appeals to binge watchers and crime thriller fans alike.

The Cross trailer introduces viewers to Alex Cross, who becomes embroiled in a brutal investigation into a prolific serial killer. The series follows his efforts, along with partner John Sampson (played by Isaiah Mustafa), to track down the killer and confront dark secrets from Cross’ own past that threaten his personal life. The plot takes viewers on his journey, balancing high-stakes cases against the emotional toll of protecting his family.
