Cross Interview: Samantha Walkes and Alona Tal Discuss Season 2's Early Greenligh

Having been famously portrayed on the silver screen by Morgan Freeman (and infamously played by Tyler Perry), James Patterson's mastermind hero detective is back with Cross, a brand-new mystery series on Prime Video. This time, he's brought to life with steely intensity by the Green Lantern himself, Aldis Hodge, keenly solving cases with his partner, Detective John Sampson, played with equal genius by Isaiah Mustafa (It: Chapter Two).

In the latest iteration of James Patterson's iconic detective, Alex Cross uses forensic psychology to analyze and investigate the minds of killers, delving into victim psychology to identify these lunatics and bring them to justice. At the same time, he must protect his family life and those closest to him. Cross also stars Samantha Walkes as Elle Monterio, an activist and Cross' love interest, as well as Alona Tal as Kayla Craig, one of Cross's companion forensic analysts.

Walkes and Tal were gracious enough to sit down with Collider's Steve Weintraub to discuss Cross and share very personal stories. Together, they discuss the importance and emotional seriousness of the show's two male leads, their sheer excitement for Season 2's early greenlight, and the psychological weightlifting it took to prepare for their roles.
