For those seeking a Prime Video series to binge this weekend, an exciting crime thriller series returning for its second season is the ideal choice. This week has been eventful for streaming services, with Netflix releasing several intriguing titles, including the spy thriller series Unfamiliar.

HBO Max released an early episode of the Game of Thrones spinoff A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, strategically avoiding a clash with the Super Bowl. Meanwhile, Prime Video prepares for the new season of one of its hit series, making it the perfect show for a weekend binge.

Now Is The Perfect Time To Watch Prime Video’s Crime Thriller Series

Cross season 1 premiered on Prime Video on November 14, 2024. This 8-part crime thriller series follows Aldis Hodge’s character, Alex Cross, a detective and forensic psychologist obsessed with understanding killers’ minds and bringing them to justice. He also grapples with deep trauma stemming from his wife’s murder.

In season 1, he delves into a conspiracy, and, by the end of the season, we uncover the details surrounding his wife’s murder. The compelling narrative makes now an ideal time to binge Cross on Prime Video, especially with season 2 approaching.

Cross season 2 will debut on Prime Video on February 11. New viewers have five days to catch up before Alex Cross returns to screens. Season 2 will introduce a vigilante targeting corrupt billionaires and feature Matthew Lillard as Lance Durand, one of her targets.

Why Prime Video’s Cross Is The Perfect One-Night Weekend Binge

Prime Video designed Cross as the ultimate one-night binge experience. Notably, Cross season 1 released all eight episodes simultaneously, on November 14, 2024. Each episode runs between 50 and 62 minutes, totaling approximately 7–8 hours of viewing time. With numerous twists and an engaging mystery, this runtime passes quickly.

With only five days remaining until Cross season 2 premieres on Prime Video, watching the show in one sitting not only provides an optimal experience but also ensures viewers are prepared for its return. Currently, the crime thriller series holds a critics’ score of 76% on Rotten Tomatoes. Binging Cross is definitely worthwhile.
