If two seasons of\u00a0Cross<\/a><\/em>\u00a0starring\u00a0Aldis Hodge<\/a>\u00a0weren\u2019t enough, there is a third season coming.<\/p>\n

The series is based on characters created by author James Patterson and stars Hodge as the detective, who was also played by Morgan Freeman and Tyler Perry (yes, you read that correctly) on the big screen.<\/p>\n

In season 2 of Cross, which featured Matthew Lillard, Jeanine Mason, and Wes Chatham, plus returning actors Isaiah Mustafa, Alona Tal, Samantha Walkes, Juanita Jennings, Caleb Elijah, Melody Hurd, and Johnny Ray Gill, the detective worked to solve the murder of a billionaire playboy.<\/p>\n

With the announcement of season 3, Prime Video did share the logline, but made sure to keep it very vague, stating the series will, \u201ccontinue to expand the high-stakes world of the iconic character, building on the show\u2019s gripping storytelling and powerful performances.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since it premiered on Prime Video in November 2024,\u00a0Cross<\/em>\u00a0became an instant hit for the streamer, garnering 40 million viewers globally in its first 20 days.<\/p>\n

Cross was also the third most-watched premiere on Prime Video in 2025, reaching No. 1 on the streaming platform in more than 100 countries.<\/p>\n

Cross\u2019s<\/em>\u00a0continued success also proves Hodge is a leading man.\u00a0Speaking with\u00a0CassiusLife<\/em><\/a>, Hodge explained that, while his reaction to being a leading man was \u201cabout damn time,\u201d he didn\u2019t look at being a leading man through an entertainment lens, but through a lens of entrepreneurship and business.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cDefinitely said it\u2019s about damn time. But I guess in terms of the \u201cleading man energy,\u201d I don\u2019t see it so much from the perspective of entertainment. I see it from the perspective of entrepreneurship and business,\u201d Hodge explained to CassiusLife. \u201cI\u2019m an executive producer on the show, so I got to lead the team. Ben Watkins, who is the showrunner and show creator, is a fantastic teacher. When we first met and talked about this job, I said, \u201cAll right, man, you are going to be my next teacher.\u201d Because I like to surround myself with professors who can help me evolve and teach me how to be better, and Ben is absolutely that.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

He continued, \u201cSo, for me, the idea of a leading man is where am I leading my business? What have I been building my entire life toward? What purpose does\u00a0Cross<\/em>\u00a0really serve in that equation? And what purpose do I serve to the greater goal of what\u00a0Cross<\/em>\u00a0is meant to be and what we\u2019re supposed to be here for? So yeah, I don\u2019t really think about the entertainment factor of it all. I think about the realized importance of taking care of people\u2019s jobs, getting people home happy, making sure we\u2019re building something that lasts and making sure that we are taking care of people in a way where they feel valued and seen.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

We can\u2019t wait to see what goes down in the third season.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
