As of right now, Cross has not been renewed for a third season, but the creator Ben Watkins has made it clear that he has a multi-year plan.
In a recent conversation with THR about what to expect in Season 2, he teased: “I already had a four-year plan. We want this thing to go for 10 seasons, but in my head, I had already made a four-year plan, and it’s based on some things that I want to do to mine and pay homage to the characters that are in the Alex Cross book series.”
“Even though I’m doing new stories, I want at some point for there to be a dovetail between these characters, so I’ve been planting these seeds,” he continued.
He also explained his approach to making TV shows.
“My approach anytime I’m doing a show, I assume it’s going for multiple seasons because I think the experience is richer, even if you only get one season. When I write as if there’s going to be five seasons, then I start planting seeds. So in season two, you’ll see seeds from season one start to get paid off. There are also seeds from season one that don’t get paid off till season three, but they get enhanced in season two. Some people say, well, why would you go through all that effort, and you don’t even know if you’re going to get another season? And I just feel like as a viewer, when I see people layer the stories with more Easter eggs and more wrinkles and more angles to these characters, it makes me enjoy the experience more. So that’s what we’ve been doing,” he explained.
The series has an 87% Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
