Aldis Hodge and Isaiah Mustafa sit down to break down the emotional core of Cross Season 2 — the unshakable brotherhood between Alex Cross and John Sampson, and the painful truths that threaten to tear it apart.
Hodge, who stars as Detective Alex Cross, and Mustafa, who plays Detective John Sampson, reflect on how Season 2 pushes their partnership into unfamiliar territory. With a 30-year secret finally coming to light, the season forces both men to confront unresolved history, broken trust, and what it truly means to stand beside someone when everything cracks open.
We talk about what audiences — especially Black men — can take away from watching Cross and Sampson navigate conflict without walking away, and why portraying emotional honesty, accountability, and vulnerability matters just as much as strength.
The conversation also highlights the importance of the women in their lives — from Malika to Elle — grounding these men, holding them accountable, and showing that emotional support is not weakness, but power.
And yes… we had to ask Aldis about that Mustang moment.
Topics include:
The meaning of brotherhood under pressure
The impact of long-buried secrets
Trust, conflict, and unresolved history
Showing Black men choosing emotional honesty
The grounding influence of Malika and Elle
Cross Season 2 premieres February 11, 2026 on Prime Video, with the first three episodes available at launch, followed by weekly episodes through the season finale on March 18, 2026.
