The opening scene of Cross clearly establishes that the storm detective ‘Alex Cross’ and his childhood best friend and fellow detective, ‘John Sampson’, are going to face in Season 2. The Prime Video series is based on the bestselling novel by the author, James Patterson. The duo will be facing a new kind of villain in the upcoming show, and it seems like the makers have ripped it straight from the headlines following the Epstein files, which follows the s*x trafficking plot that was actually written back in 2022/2023. Warning: Spoilers ahead!
