Aldis Hodge as Alex Cross against a Cross poster.
Warning: Major spoilers for Cross season 1 below!Prime Video's Cross adaptation reveals the title character's parents are dead, but what happened to them? Amazon's Cross cast Aldis Hodge as Detective Alex Cross, who inherits the role from Morgan Freeman and Tyler Perry. The biggest swing of the show is that it doesn't adapt any of the Alex Cross novels by James Patterson, and instead takes the characters and places them in an original story.
Related Every Real-Life Serial Killer Referenced By The Fanboy Killer In Cross Season 1 The Fanboy Killer in Amazon Prime Video's Cross draws references to several renowned real-life serial killers, showing his twisted devotion to them. ✕ Remove Ads Jason survived being shot and subsequently falling from a bridge and has been living under an assumed identity in the decades since. Not only that, but Alex also discovers his late mother was a drug addict who was killed by her dealer, with Jason then being accused of her murder. The Cross series at least sticks true to the order of Alex's losses from the books, with Regina revealing he lost his father shortly after his mother's passing.
Cross season 1 ends with Alex finally going to see a therapist to start unpacking his feelings, so maybe that's where viewers will learn of his parents in the next series. Considering she raised him for most of his life - and still lives with him and his children - Alex probably considers Nana Mama his true mother by this point.
