Amazon's Prime Video announced today that Cross has been renewed for a third season. The news comes the same day the thriller is wrapping its 8-episode sophomore run. Another eight episodes have been ordered for Season 3, which will continue to expand the high-stakes world of the iconic character.

"From the beginning, Cross has captivated audiences with its layered characters, pulse-pounding suspense, and emotionally grounded storytelling," said Peter Friedlander, Head of Global Television, Amazon MGM Studios. "Aldis has delivered a definitive portrayal of Alex Cross, anchoring the series with depth, intelligence, and heart. We're thrilled to continue this journey with Ben, our collaborators at Paramount Television Studios, and the rest of the incredible cast to bring even more of James Patterson's iconic world to our global Prime Video audience."

Based on Patterson's novels, the series follows Alex Cross, a detective and forensic psychologist with the unique capability of digging into the psyches of killers and their victims in order to identify - and ultimately capture - the murderers.
