Cross Season 2: Episode Count and Release Dates Revealed

Alex Cross is back on the case. Season 2 of the crime thriller drops this winter, and if you are mapping out your watch plan, here is the full breakdown: episode count, release dates, and where to find it.

What Season 2 brings

The new run packs 8 episodes and keeps the focus squarely on Alex Cross, a top homicide detective and forensic psychologist working in Washington, D.C. The show comes from creator Ben Watkins and continues the thread from Season 1, pushing Cross into nastier, more complicated investigations that press both his brain and his conscience.

The ensemble is stacked: Aldis Hodge leads as Cross, with Ryan Eggold, Alona Tal, Isaiah Mustafa, Samantha Walkes, Johnny Ray Gill, and Eloise Mumford in the mix.

Release plan (and that midweek drop)

Season 2 premieres Wednesday, February 11, 2026, with three episodes right out of the gate. After that, the show settles into a weekly Wednesday rhythm, wrapping on March 18, 2026.
