The highly anticipated second season of the crime drama Cross has officially premiered on Prime Video, sparking excitement among fans who are already clamouring for more content. Season 2 launched on Wednesday, February 11, 2026, with the first three episodes available immediately for streaming.
Episode Release Schedule and Count for Cross Season 2
Viewers can look forward to a total of eight episodes in this season. Following the initial drop, new episodes will be released weekly every Wednesday. The season finale is scheduled to arrive on Prime Video on March 18, 2026. This means audiences have five additional episodes to enjoy, with the next one set for release on Wednesday, February 18.
Plot Details and New Characters in Cross Season 2
The official synopsis from Prime Video unveils a gripping new storyline: "In Season Two, Cross is in pursuit of a ruthless vigilante who is hunting down corrupt billionaire magnates." This season introduces a female killer targeting CEOs, including one involved in a company aiming to end world hunger, adding a fresh layer of intrigue to the series.
New cast members joining the show include Matthew Lillard, Jeanine Mason, and Wes Chatham, who will appear alongside returning stars such as Aldis Hodge as Detective Alex Cross, Isaiah Mustafa, and Alona Tal. It remains uncertain whether Ryan Eggold will return to reprise his role as the villain Ed Ramsey from season one.
Series Direction and Adaptation Insights
Showrunner Ben Watkins has clarified that the series will not directly adapt James Patterson's novels. Instead, viewers can anticipate original, never-before-seen twists, with each instalment featuring a new killer. This approach allows for creative freedom and unexpected plot developments that diverge from the source material.
Season one of Cross saw Aldis Hodge's character solve two major mysteries, including the murder of his wife, with piano teacher Miss Nancy and villain Ed Ramsey ultimately revealed as the killers. The second season builds on this foundation with a more complex and suspenseful narrative.
As the release schedule unfolds, fans are encouraged to stay tuned for weekly updates and immerse themselves in the thrilling world of Cross on Prime Video.
