If all of this wasn't exciting enough from the word go, Prime Video is apparently confident enough in the show that they're already signed on for a Season 2.

"I am thrilled to be embarking on another chapter of Cross. Moments like this don't happen by accident," Watkins would add of the quick renewal. "Getting a Season 2 pick-up before our first season even drops is a huge testament and vote of confidence in the amazing work that our crew, cast, directors, writers and production team have delivered thus far. It's also a direct result of the unwavering support bestowed upon us by Prime Video and our producing partners at Paramount TV Studios, Skydance and James Patterson Entertainment. I am grateful for all of the above and can't wait to run it back even bigger and better."
