As a seasoned movie buff with over three decades of cinematic exploration under my belt, I must say that “Cross” is shaping up to be quite the intriguing ride. The tantalizing hints about Kayla Craig‘s potential transformation into a villain, reminiscent of Kyle Craig from the James Patterson books, certainly adds an extra layer of anticipation for the upcoming season.
Amazon’s latest detective series, “Cross,” has been creating quite a stir, with its second season already locked in even before its debut. Readers familiar with the James Patterson novels that Alex Cross hails from might have an idea of what’s coming up next, particularly regarding a significant antagonist. The character of Kayla Craig, the sharp FBI agent, shares striking similarities with Kyle Craig from Patterson’s books. In the novels, Kyle, initially a friend of Cross, eventually transforms into a formidable adversary to be defeated. Could this be hinting at things to come in the series?
During an interview with MovieWeb, Alona Tal, who portrays Craig in the series, pointed out an interesting aspect: “It’s exciting because this is a fresh setting, so any similarities between the characters are just food for speculation, keeping you on the edge of your seat. Every good character should have a blend of both good and bad traits.” She further elaborated:
It’s intriguing to me that she initially appears as an ally. If she later turns into a villain, it will add more suspense and provide us with more reasons to engage. To be honest, I prefer being on the side of the righteous. Therefore, I’m looking forward to this development, and I trust Ben will create an engaging narrative for her future, whatever that may entail.
Season One Already Dropped a Huge Personal Betrayal
Developed by Ben Watkins (known for Hand of God, Truth Be Told, Burn Notice), the thrilling new series follows homicide detective and forensic psychologist Alex Cross as he chases a ruthless serial killer across town. This chase becomes a tense game of hide-and-seek. The series boasts an impressive cast including Isaiah Mustafa (IT Chapter Two), Ryan Eggold (New Amsterdam), Samantha Walkes, Juanita Jennings, Jennifer Wigmore, and Karen Robinson.
The show strays from the trajectory set by Patterson’s novels, expanding the artistic horizon. The most significant change lies in delving deeper into Alex Cross’ personal life, particularly focusing on his grief over the loss of his wife Maria. Throughout Season 1, Cross is grappling with this tragic event, and there are numerous characters that could potentially be suspects, even including Kayla Craig.
