Prime Video is expanding its “based-on-a-book” universe with the premiere of the newest Amazon original series, “Cross.”
Based on the 30-book series by James Patterson, which dates back to 1993 and is still going with a new novel set to be released later this month. “Leverage” and “Black Adam” star Aldis Hodge will assume the role of the prolific homicide detective in the new series.
