Cross season 2 gets a surprising filming update ahead of the season 1 premiere. Set to arrive on Prime Video in just a few weeks, the eight-episode first installment is based on the popular James Patterson novels. It centers on the titular character, Alex Cross, a detective and forensic psychologist who is uniquely capable of digging into the psyches of killers and their victims.
