What better place for this moment than this iconic Peruvian site; but first, Dan needs to ask Luciana’s father for permission to marry her-that’s where Katie steps in.

Dan doesn’t speak Spanish, but Katie does-everything seems very romantic until Luciana’s friend Chef Carlos arrives, he is quite unpredictable and disrupts Dan’s proposal plans.

Chicago Fire is a revolving door. There have been tons of characters who have stuck around for the long haul, of course, but most have been written out of the show, or gotten married and moved on to different careers. We remember them, and we miss them.

Some characters, however, don't stick around long enough to solidify their Chicago Fire legacy. They were compelling while on the show, but they left so quickly that their impact is barely felt in seasons that follow. This article is meant to shine a light on them, and recount why they left.

It's always nice to hear a story where someone tells Hollywood to go f*ck itself. Which is, quite literally, what James Patterson did when executives asked him to re-write his iconic Alex Cross character as a white man. And now Cross television star Aldis Hodge — who plays the titular character — is speaking out about what it means to have kept Alex Cross a Black man.

Speaking with BuzzFeed, Hodge explained that he was "shocked, impressed, and proud" when he heard the author of the wildly successful Alex Cross novels was asked by some Hollywood executives to sign a seven-figure deal — but only if he changed the character's race to white.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter last month, Patterson explained the story as such:

"Here's an interesting thing about the Hollywood 'Cross' stuff. When I wrote the first Alex Cross book, I didn't have a lot of money and Hollywood came calling — knock,...

Prime Video’s newest hit series, Cross, has now become the third-biggest season premiere of 2024 for Amazon’s streaming service. Variety reports that the series, starring Aldis Hodge as the titular Detective Alex Cross, amassed 40 million viewers in the first 20 days it streamed on Prime Video.

Amazon states that the 40 million number ranks Cross No. 3 for this year as far as season premieres go on Prime Video behind Season 1 of Fallout and Season 2 of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. The Walton Goggins-led Fallout had 65 million viewers in 16 days and The Rings of Power had 40 million in 11 days. Cross debuted on Nov. 14.

The streamer also said Cross is the third-biggest launch for a Prime Video series and the sixth-biggest season launch of all time for the platform when 20 days of viewership are counted. Of the viewers, 55% were from countries other than the United States, with Germany,...

Prime Video’s Cross has pulled in a big worldwide audience in the three weeks since its premiere, the streamer says.

The crime drama, starring Aldis Hodge and based on James Patterson’s best-selling novels, has drawn 40 million viewers globally over its first 20 days, according to internal figures from Prime Video. All eight episodes of the show’s first season (it’s already been renewed for a second installment) premiered Nov. 14.

The 40 million worldwide viewers makes Cross the No. 3 premiere for a Prime Video series this year over a 20-day span. It trails only Fallout — which, according to the Amazon-owned streamer, had 65 million viewers in 16 days — and The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, whose second season (three episodes of it, anyway) racked up 40 million viewers in its first 11 days.

Amazon also says the launch of Cross puts it in the top six of all Prime Video series over its first 20 days.

Alex Cross always get his man. Sometimes, tens of millions of ’em.

Season 1 of Cross, Prime Video’s crime drama based upon the characters from James Patterson’s best-selling Alex Cross novels, racked up more than 40 million viewers globally in its first 20 days of release, the streamer reported on Friday.

“Cross,” the Aldis Hodge-led series based on James Patterson’s “Alex Cross” novels, hit 40 million viewers in its first 20 days of streaming, according to Amazon.

The streamer says that this total makes “Cross” its third-biggest season premiere of 2024, following only “Fallout” Season 1 and “The Rings of Power” Season 2. Though 20-day totals for those series have not been made available, Amazon previously reported that “Fallout” crossed 65 million viewers in 16 days and that “The Rings of Power’s” second outing crossed 40 million viewers in 11 days (which increased to 55 million after one month).

Additionally, Amazon says that “Cross” is Prime Video’s third-biggest series launch and sixth-biggest season launch of all time, accounting for 20 days of viewership for all titles. 55% of its audience comes from outside of the United States, with Germany, the U.K., Brazil, Canada and Spain in particular seeing “outsized performance.”

It’s important to note that Amazon does...

Cross seems to have uncovered quite an impressive audience at Prime Video.

The series, based on James Patterson’s bestselling novels, has amassed 40M viewers globally in its first 20 days on the streamer, according to Amazon. It’s the third most-watched premiere of the year, behind just Fallout and The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Season 2 through the first 20 days.

For reference, Fallout commanded more than 65M viewers within 16 days of viewing, while Rings of Power Season 2 hit the 40M mark in 11 days.

It’s unclear exactly how Prime Video is quantifying “viewers,” since there is no way for the streamers to determine exactly how many people are watching via a single stream, or if anyone is watching at all. It’s possible that the company is using active sub households to arrive at this number, like Paramount Global does, but Amazon declined to provide guidance when asked.

“Cross” star Ryan Eggold said people thought his decision to go blonde for his role as serial killer Ed Ramsey was rooted in an effort to channel veteran rapper Eminem.

“No, I was not going for Slim Shady,” Eggold told TheWrap after asking reporter Raquel Harris if she thought his look mirrored the iconic Detroit artist, who was once known for rocking a bleach blonde hair style during the early 2000s. “Lately people were like, ‘Were you doing an Eminem thing?’ I’m like, ‘What? No, he’s a killer. No.”

Eggold stars as Ed Ramsey the villain in the “Cross” Season 1. He’s member of Washington, D.C.’s upper echelon but comes from humble beginnings in the Midwest. He’s suave, laid back, charming but devious. And he loves playing cat and mouse with Alex Cross (Aldis Hodge), toying with him to see how skilled the detective is noted to be.

Quick Links This Season on Cross... Cross Catches the Killer But It Doesn't End There Cross' Season 1 Ending Sets Up Season 2

Making its Prime Video debut on November 14, 2024, Cross is a popular crime series that has remained atop the platform's most-watched shows. Based on the fictional Washington, D.C. detective featured in 30 Alex Cross novels by James Patterson, the eight-part series has drawn plaudits for its towering performance by Aldis Hodge as the title character. The show's critical success and wide viewership led Amazon to renew the series for Season 2.

Of course, discussing Cross Season 2 without clarifying what transpires at the end of Season 1 is impossible. Core to Cross' investigative focus is identifying who murdered his wife, Maria. Meanwhile, the mysterious murder of a political activist occupies Cross' work duties, with the shocking confluence of events in the Season 1 finale setting up Season 2's storyline. Beyond naming Maria's murderer, here's...

Warning: Major spoilers for Cross season 1 below!The fourth episode of Cross features a scene of dental horror that is sure to give fans of a controversial Dustin Hoffman movie traumatic flashbacks. Prime Video's Cross cast Aldis Hodge as the title detective, who is chasing after a twisted serial killer dubbed "The Fanboy" (Ryan Eggold). What makes Cross interesting is that it takes the characters from the James Patterson bestselling Alex Cross novels - but doesn't actually adapt any of them (via TVLine). This means Eggold's villain is unique to the series, with Ed Ramsey/The Fanboy being almost on the same intellectual level as Alex Cross himself.

Many episodes follow Ramsey as he painstakingly transforms his latest kidnap victim Shannon (Eloise Mumford) into real-life killer Aileen Wuornos. This includes changing her hair color and skin complexion and even altering her teeth. The Fanboy believes this is a great artistic endeavor,...

Aldis Hodge's Alex Cross isn't leaving Prime Video anytime soon. Ben Watkins, the creator and showrunner of Cross, has shared a major update on the crime thriller series' future on the Amazon streamer.

Speaking with Collider, Watkins was asked for an update on Season 2 of Cross, which was confirmed by the streamer in April 2024. "Season 2 is actually filmed. I'm gonna go ahead and give you a spoiler because, fuck it. We started the [writers'] room back in November, we started filming in April, we finished production in September, and we're actually in post-production on Season 2," Watkins revealed. "Each season is a book for me. They're all based on new mysteries. Season 1 is Hero Complex, and Season 2 is called Bitter Fruit.

Spoiler Alert: This post contains spoilers for “Cross,” now streaming on Prime Video.

After playing the very likable Dr. Max Goodwin for five seasons of “New Amsterdam,” Ryan Eggold was ready to jump into something new. While “not necessarily looking for something darker,” Eggold was intrigued when “Cross” showrunner Ben Watkins came to him with serial killer Ed “Fanboy” Ramsey.

“It’s been a while since I played a villain, and I’d certainly never played anything this psychopathic, masochistic, detached and cold,” he tells Variety. “My initial impressions of him were just that kind of ‘American Psycho’ vibes, American exceptionalism to an unhealthy psychotic degree, and sort of this amazing representation of greed and power, and being hungry for power. The kind of person who’s capable of manipulating other people without remorse, without empathy — certainly reflective of certain figures we see today.”

“Cross” is the new ‘crime thriller’ TV series, starring Aldis Hodge as ‘Alex Cross’, based on characters created by author James Patterson, now streaming the first of two seasons on Amazon Prime Video:

“…’Alex Cross’ is a detective and forensic psychologist, uniquely capable of digging into the psyches of predators and their victims, in order to identify - and ultimately capture - the killers…”

Cast also includes Isaiah Mustafa, Juanita Jennings, Alona Tal, Samantha Walkes, Caleb Elijah, Melody Hurd, Eloise Mumford and Ryan Eggold.

The Fanboy killer’s twisted game of revenge takes center stage in “Chasing Ghosts,” as Alex Cross (Aldis Hodge) races against time to find Shannon Witmer (Eloise Mumford) and unravel the increasingly tangled web of the killer’s motives. This week’s Cross delivers a potent mix of procedural thrills and intimate character moments, exploring the human cost […]

Cross Season 1 Episode 4 Recap: “Chasing Ghosts”...

Prime Video's original series Cross is remarkable not only for its mystery, but for how it treats its female characters. The women in Alex Cross's world are all fully developed characters who can stand on their own, separate from their connection to Cross or the serial killer case he's trying to solve. The two most prominent female characters are Cross's love interest Elle Monteiro, and his old friend Kayla Craig.

With Cross Season 1 now streaming, Cbr spoke to actors Samantha Walkes (who plays Elle) and Alona Tal (who portrays Kayla) about the show's writing for its female characters. They discussed how the women in Cross are different from those in other procedurals, and one other incredible aspect of the writing that viewers may have missed. Plus, Tal reflected on reuniting with showrunner Ben Watkins, with whom she previously collaborated with on Hand of God and Burn Notice.

Cbr: Alona,...

The following contains major spoilers for Cross Season 1, now streaming on Prime Video.

One of the most interesting aspects of Prime Video's Cross is its villain. Ed Ramsey is not at all what audiences expect after TV's many serial killer stories -- and neither is his victim. Ryan Eggold plays Ramsey as a man who has many layers, which often conflict with one another as he embarks on a twisted mission to recreate history. But the woman he abducts, Shannon Witmer, is far from a damsel in distress thanks to the performance of Eloise Mumford.

In an interview with Cbr, Eggold and Mumford discuss how their Cross characters stand out from the pack. Eggold talks about his journey from playing one of TV's most beloved characters to one of its most evil, while Mumford explains how she developed Shannon so she had her own character arc separate from her terrifying predicament.

Isaiah Mustafa isnt shy when it comes to hyping the masterful storytelling of Prime Video's gripping new detective thriller, Cross. The Shadow Hunters and It Chapter Two star joins headliner Aldis Hodge in the new crime drama based on James Pattersons bestsellers about FBI agent Alex Cross hunting down a serial killer. He is quick to note how well the Washington D.C.-set series handles the always relevant relationship between the Black community and law enforcement. In a recent round table interview, Mustafa told MovieWeb:

I think that this series navigates that complicated relationship between the police and the community by addressing it and hitting it head on. We put it on display. We put it at the forefront of a lot of our story. We don't shy away from anything because we want to give people a true sense of what these two detectives have to go through on a daily basis.

The reviews for the new Prime Video series, Cross, are now in, with both critics and audiences building their cases and establishing whether the crime thriller series folds under investigation...or if it's the new Reacher. Based on James Paterson's bestselling "Alex Cross" novels, the main character uses forensic psychology to delve into the psyches of killers, identify the culprits, and bring murderers to justice. Cross stars Aldis Hodge and Isaiah Mustafa, and premiered on Thursday, November 14.

The series has now garnered a 70% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes and 69% on the Popcornmeter on Rotten Tomatoes. Reviews seem evenly mixed, with many praising the story and the central performance. MovieWeb's Greg Archer wrote viewers, "be prepared for fun."

"Prepare for fun. Be surprised by the plot twists. Enjoy Aldis Hodge every step of the way in a commanding portrayal of a man at odds with work and himself. And heres to a third season order.

Cross has finally debuted on Amazon’s Prime Video, and it’s already getting solid reviews from fans and from the press.

Your browser does not support the video tag.

Ryan Eggold and Eloise Mumford are being sought after by one of literature's most iconic detectives for different reasons in Cross. Having first held down one of the lead roles in The CW's 90210 sequel show, Eggold subsequently found success starring in NBC's The Blacklist and co-leading its short-lived spinoff, Redemption, while also landing a major role in Spike Lee's BlacKkKlansman around the same time. More recently, Eggold found acclaim leading the cast of the medical drama New Amsterdam, while also directing three episodes before it came to an end in 2023.

Much like Eggold, Mumford found early success in the world of television with her key roles in Fox's crime drama Lone Star and ABC's The River, a found-footage horror show from the creator of the Paranormal Activity franchise and produced by Jason Blum before Blumhouse fame. Since then, Mumford...

With a new take on James Patterson’s famous detective series, “Cross,” Prime Video’s newest crime story quickly became a hit. The show, which starts on November 14, introduces fans to Alex Cross, a brilliant Washington, D.C., homicide detective walking a fine line between personal tragedy and professional determination.

This isn’t your normal movie based on a book. Instead of directly adapting one of Patterson’s more than 30 books, the series creates a brand-new story that stays true to Alex Cross while adding something new. The main plot of the show is about Cross after the terrible murder of his wife, Maria. This loss has left him mentally broken but driven at work.

The series immediately stands out by going deep into Cross’s complicated world. He is a detective with a Ph.D., the widowed father of two young children, and dealing with sadness while trying to keep up his professional edge.

Plot: A pulse-pounding crime thriller that follows the investigations of brilliant forensic psychologist and DC Metro Detective Alex Cross. Together with his best friend and partner Detective John Sampson, Cross delves into the psyches of insidious murderers while fighting to protect his family from the dangers of the criminal world.

Review: After thirty-two novels and three feature films, James Patterson’s beloved character, Alex Cross, is returning for a new adaptation. With Morgan Freeman leading two films, based on Kiss the Girls and Along Came a Spider, and Tyler Perry portraying the detective in 2012’s Alex Cross, the character’s narrative exploits have been fairly well received on the big screen. For the new Prime Video series, Cross, the Patterson books serve as inspiration for the narrative rather than direct source material. Aldis Hodge leads the series as the brilliant detective who must hunt down a serial killer while maneuvering...

What to do with the character of Alex Cross has been a hard case for Hollywood to crack. Bestselling author James Patterson introduced the ace detective to the world in 1993 with “Along Came a Spider,” launching a rich world centered around the hero psychologist and investigator now comprising more than 30 books. That series has collectively sold more than 100 million copies, which is presumably why Hollywood keeps trying to get it right.

Alex Cross first showed up on the big screen back in 1997, with Morgan Freeman in “Kiss the Girls,” followed by “Along Came a Spider,” named for the very first novel, with Freeman again, in 2001. And then in 2012, Tyler Perry took over in “Alex Cross,” controversially replacing Idris Elba.

With Aldis Hodge, “Cross,” the latest adaptation from Amazon’s Prime Video, finally gets it right.

Best known as hacker Alec Hardison in the “Leverage” franchise as well as Noah from the slavery-era series “Underground,...

Aldis Hodge stars in the series as Alex Cross, a forensic psychologist with the unique ability to get into the minds of dangerous criminals.

Are you ready to go toe-to-toe with some of the world’s deadliest criminals? Then it’s time to join Alex Cross on the case in “Cross,” the new thriller series heading to Prime Video. I worked in a bookstore once upon a time, and if the show comes close to living up to the legacy of the novel series by James Patterson, it’s going to be extremely popular with audiences. But for those unfamiliar with the character, what will “Cross” be about? Will it follow the plot of the novels precisely?

James Patterson's most iconic detective is getting a new life with Ben Watkins at the helm in Prime Video's Cross. The Washington D.C.-based detective and forensic psychologist has been the lead of 32 novels by the bestselling author, and first made his way to the screen with 1997's Kiss the Girls, which starred Morgan Freeman as Alex Cross, which he reprised with the 2001 sequel Along Came a Spider, which was actually the first book in the series. He would later be brought back with the 2012 franchise reboot Alex Cross, which starred Tyler Perry in the titular role.

Prime Video's Cross brings the exciting characters conceived by James Petterson back to the small screen, but this wouldn't be possible without its exceptional cast. The 2024 crime drama series is directed and created by Ben Watkins, who is best known for Burn Notice (2007) and Quest to Ref (2002). Now, Cross arrives on Prime Video on November 14, 2024, with a first season that will dive into the story of Patterson's Alex Cross.

James Patterson's Alex Cross book series got their start back in 1993, and there have since been 32 books published. These stories outline the work of psychologist detective Alex Cross, who solved thrilling mysteries by diving into the minds of the worst murders. To bring Patterson's books to life, Watkins has brought actors like Aldris Hodge, Isaiah Mustafa, Juanita Jennings, Ryan Eggold, and more aboard for a thrilling, action-packed crime drama fresh from Prime Video.

Aldis Hodge is bringing another iconic character to life and has Isaiah Mustafa along for the ride in Cross. Though having worked since he was a kid, Hodge found his first breakout hit with a key role in TNT's Leverage, which he would reprise in a recurring fashion for its sequel show Redemption, and finding increasing success with everything from Straight Outta Compton to The Invisible Man and One Night in Miami.... Hodge has also been steadily building his filmography behind the camera, serving as a producer on Cross as well as co-writing and producing the sci-fi thriller Parallel with his brother, Edwin Hodge.

Mustafa, on the other hand, has taken an interesting route in his career, beginning as a wide receiver in the NFL before turning his attention to acting in the late '00s. He most notably became a household name thanks to being the main star...

Chicago Fire's long run means that the Chicago Fire cast has shifted many times over the years, but not every character gets a well-respected exit. The show revolves around the intense Firehouse 51 which is home to several paramedics and firefighters who work hard to save people from life-threatening situations. In scenes elevated by the show's stellar setting, several characters are fired from the noteworthy firehouse for being reckless in times of crisis.

The One Chicago shows feature a never-ending rotation of characters as each high-intensity situation calls for new faces and storylines. Chicago Fire is no different and has featured introductions and exits of both new and recurring characters throughout its many seasons. While the procedural has been known to kill off characters, it has also shown several characters being fired as a way to write them out of the show.

Cross' lead stars Aldis Hodge, Isaiah Mustafa, and creator Ben Watkins tease the season 1 villain and their relationship with the titular character.

During a recent interview with Screen Rant for Cross' premiere, Hodge, Mustafa and Watkins were asked about the parallels between the titular detective and villain. Hodge noted that Cross looks at the evidence as "an indicative sort of signature of the killer and their motivations," which makes "his mindset his superpower," so the series' antagonist needs to be someone "formidable that can stand against Cross,...

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.

James Patterson's iconic Washington D.C. detective and forensic psychologist is back in a big way with Cross. The upcoming Prime Video show serves as the fourth adaptation of Patterson's character, with Morgan Freeman having played him twice in the psychological thrillers Kiss the Girls and Along Came a Spider, before being surpassed by Tyler Perry in the 2012 franchise reboot, Alex Cross. This time around, the eponymous detective is being played by Aldis Hodge, best known for his work in the Leverage shows, as well as the Invisible Man reboot, Turn: Washington's Spies and Black Adam, among others.

Unlike the prior three films, Cross will be taking an original approach to adapting Patterson's franchise, not adapting any one specific novel, but instead creating a new case with some iconic characters appearing. The show will follow Hodge's Cross and his...

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.

In a first-look video of “Cross” for Amazon’s Prime Video, star Aldis Hodge’s hero Alex Cross secures a murder suspect’s confession with an assist from William Shakespeare — specifically, the Bard’s famous tragedy, “Macbeth.”

The clip opens with Alex staring detainee Ed Ramsey (Ryan Eggold) in the face after a tense exchange in the interrogation room. “You thought you were special,” Alex says to Ed, who is glaring back at Alex with steel in his eye.

“You’re not in my head, boy. And you’re not getting a confession,” Ed says with an arrogant smirk. But what he doesn’t know is that he’s already given Alex all the information he needs.

James Patterson’s Alex Cross book series is heading to the screen once again, and here’s the trailer for Cross.

Thus far, James Patterson’s Alex Cross action thriller novels have only been seen on the big screen. Morgan Freeman first took on the role of the detective for 1997’s Kiss the Girls, directed by Gary Fleder, and 2001’s Along Came A Spider, directed by Lee Tamahori. Both were well received and feature strong casts, including Ashley Judd, Carey Elwes and Michael Wincott.

A reboot landed in 2012, directed by Rob Cohen and starring Tyler Perry. However, Alex Cross was a critical and commercial failure, and plans for a sequel were dropped.

That brings us to Cross, a television series coming to Amazon Prime Video which follows Reacher's template of using the protagonist’s surname as the title.

The synopsis reads as follows:
