Aldis Hodge Tricks Killer Into Confessing in ‘Cross’ Crime Thriller First Look
Aldis Hodge’s Detective Alex Cross tricks a ruthless serial killer into a confession in the first look for Prime Video’s Cross crime thriller, which was promoted at New York Comic Con on Friday.
The season one clip features Cross grilling a murder suspect played by Jeremy Walmsley who insists he won’t confess, even though the detective reveals he already did.

“’Life’s fitful fever.’ Yeah, I caught that. It’s Macbeth, right?” Cross, who uses forensic psychology to solve crimes, tells the cornered suspect named Dick Miller. “Well, good luck getting a conviction with that,” the suspect tells Cross as his superiors and the District Attorney on the other side of the interrogation room one-way glass suddenly beam over another case solved.
The thriller, based on the characters from James Patterson’s best-selling Alex Cross book series, has Hodges as Metro PD’s star detective getting into the minds of killers and their victims to identify and ultimately capture murderers.
An earlier teaser trailer had Cross forced into a deadly game as he pursues a psychotic genius who uses a menacing mask, and possibly more than one killer, to stay ahead of his pursuing detective. Alongside Hodge, Cross stars Isaiah Mustafa, Juanita Jennings, Alona Tal, Samantha Walkes, Caleb Elijah, Melody Hurd, Jennifer Wigmore, Eloise Mumford and Ryan Eggold.
The first season of Cross will bow globally on Nov. 14 on Prime Video. Ahead of the upcoming premiere, Prime Video already renewed the series for a second season. Cross is created by showrunner and writer Ben Watkins, who executive produces the series via his Blue Monday Productions banner.
Sam Ernst, Jim Dunn, Craig Siebels, Patterson, Bill Robinson, David Ellison, Dana Goldberg and Bill Bost also executive produce. The series is produced by Amazon MGM Studios, Paramount Television Studios and Skydance Television.
