‘Cross’ Season 1 had Ed Ramsey (Ryan Eggold), a wealthy financier turned serial killer, also known as the ‘Fanboy’ killer. He had a strange obsession with making his victims look like famous serial killers before taking their lives. He believed himself to be an artist and viewed the way he committed murder as “art”. Even though Ed is finally caught at the end of ‘Cross’ Season 1, we see that Alex Cross is worried about his followers. Next season, Alex may find herself the target of powerful figures with their own hidden agendas following Ed’s arrest.

2. Bobby Trey may take center stage in Season 2 of ‘Cross’

In Season 1 of ‘Cross,’ Alex deprives Ed of the one thing he desires: attention and recognition. After burning his notebook, Alex plans to portray Bobby Trey (Johnny Ray Gill) as the Fanboy killer. He sends Kayla Craig (Alona Tal) to persuade Ed to confess to his crimes in exchange for 24 months in prison and full immunity. He eventually accepts the deal, promising to share all of Ramsey’s dirt on influential people.

Next season could move the timeline forward two years with Bobby being released from prison and fulfilling his end of the bargain by sharing all the information he has with Kayla. In the future, he may emerge as the new villain by using this knowledge to manipulate powerful people and harm Alex Cross.

3. Chief Anderson’s run for mayor could shake things up in Season 2 of ‘Cross’

‘ finallyCross’ Season 1Alex decides to go to therapy to deal with his anger and grief. When he chooses to go for redemption, he is cleared of charges from a previous case in which he brutally attacked a civilian he thought was his wife’s murderer. Chief Anderson (played by Jennifer Wigmore) explains that letting Alex off the hook could give him a boost in his mayoral campaign.

When Alex pushes back, saying that this world isn’t the kind of world he wants to live in, Anderson responds with a hard truth that it may not be the world he wants, but it’s the world they have, adding: “Otherwise, how do you go about changing things?”

This conversation suggests that Season 2 may delve deeper into Alex’s struggle between his ideals and the compromises that come with justice in a world that’s far from perfect.

When will Season 2 of ‘Cross’ be released?

‘Cross’ season 2 was announced long before the premiere of its first season. At New York Comic Con, creator Ben Watkins expressed both surprise and pride at the show’s early renewal. “I was surprised. You just don’t see that very often. I think the first thing was just complete shock and excitement,” Watkins said. collider He remembered when he first got the news of the renewal.

The release date of ‘Cross’ Season 2 has not been announced yet, but fans will not have to face long gaps as both seasons are shot back-to-back. If all goes well, we could get the second season in 2025.
