Adapting Alex Cross for Prime Video

The Prime Video series Cross, starring Aldis Hodge as the iconic detective, offers a fresh take on the source material by establishing its own unique narrative rather than directly adapting any single book by James Patterson. While the show introduces beloved supporting characters like John Sampson and Nana Mama to honor the loyal fanbase, it functions independently from previous cinematic adaptations featuring Morgan Freeman and Tyler Perry. Guided by showrunner Ben Watkins, the television adaptation builds upon the foundational world of the novels to craft an original episodic journey. Furthermore, the program features a formidable serial killer antagonist driven by distinct personal motivations. Anticipation for the project is notably high, evidenced by an early second-season renewal ahead of its November premiere.
