Our Take On Cross Season 2
Season 2 Is Highly Anticipated
There are many burning questions thatCrossneeds to answer in season 2. Since Miss Nancy isn’t the person who pulled the trigger on Maria,season 2’s new killer could be the one we didn’t get to meet in season 1.The show creator’s comment leaves all possibilities on the table. WithJohnny Ray Gill’s Bobby Treyalso working out a deal with Special Agent Kayla Craig, the ex-cop turned mercenary might come back sooner than fans would expect. For now, Cross needs to focus on his own healing, but when the time comes, he’ll have to reopen the old case.
Whether the answers will be in the next season is unknown, butwith a strong start likeCrossseason 1, the future of the show is very bright.The Prime Video police procedural has already been hailed by some as the best Alex Cross adaptation so far. There’s already a lot to look forward to in season 2, and a mysterious new killer certainly makes the next season even more intriguing.
