The cast and crew of Cross sat down with ABC News and shared how the James Patterson crime thrillers might be the source material for the show, but the new TV series goes where the books and films didn't.
When ABC News caught up with the cast and crew of Cross , Aldis Hodge who plays the titular decorated homicide detective and forensic psychologist Alex Cross was quick to point out that the new TV series is nothing like the two movies starring Morgan Freeman or the one starring Tyler Perry , saying he didn't draw from them to portray his character.
"I think with Ben Watkins's vision, you have to start at zero and let him take you where you're going to go," Mustafa said. Mumford plays Shannon Witmer who meets Ramsey on an online dating site and is intrigued by his charm and connections only to become one of his victims. "And more importantly, I started to get into this idea of where we are in this day and age this would be a good time to have a hero like Alex Cross.
"So, I can't do a show about a Black cop and then tiptoe around the fact that there's some conflict between law enforcement and the Black community from time to time, but I want to make sure that the way that gets handled in our show is organic and built into the fabric of the show through these characters and they have a nuanced perspective.
