There\u2019s a lot of turmoil ahead in<\/span> Cross<\/span><\/em>\u2018<\/span><\/a> second season at Prime Video, according to its stars.<\/span> Isaiah Mustafa warned us<\/span><\/a> that what we know about the characters will be turned on its head, and<\/span> Ryan Eggold played coy<\/span><\/a> about whether the Fanboy Killer\u2019s spree is truly over. Now, there\u2019s a new (albeit less deadly) wrinkle to worry about: the new Cross family dynamic at hand in Season 2.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, after Alex Cross (<\/span>Aldis Hodge<\/span><\/a>) finally decided to work to heal from the murder death of his wife, he seemed ready to move on in a real way with his new love Elle (<\/span>Samantha Walkes<\/span><\/a>). But is<\/span> she<\/span><\/em> ready for all that will entail?<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Samantha Walkes herself, Elle will face some struggles with becoming a stepmother figure to Alex\u2019s two children. \u201cIt\u2019s a world that was created before her and previous to that, and so even though she\u2019s been in the periphery and knowing the family, knowing Maria, watching that tragedy, the invitation that she leads with, the grace that she leads with will always help her.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

However, \u201cthe challenge of them growing, the ages that they\u2019re at, they\u2019re growing at a place that they need stability and they need that contact,\u201d Walkes continued. \u201cBut that will look different every day, every minute, every time they come home for school. And so I think that that\u2019s really where it has to stay an open playground for all players involved,\u201d she explained.<\/span><\/p>\n

Still, she has optimism that Alex\u2019s actions in the Season 1 finale \u2014 visiting his wife\u2019s grave for the first time and going to therapy \u2014 mean a strong future might be ahead for the couple.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat you see is the effort and the intentionality. And so with that, always it\u2019s fruitful when people leave with intention, and the fact that she witnesses him say yes to himself and healing in that journey means that there is always hope there is always another door or window cracked that we can enter into and find more about each other because you can never know all of someone,\u201d Walkes said. \u201cSpending an eternity figuring that out is romantic and beautiful and honoring and fun, and it can be playful, and so watching that intentionality grow on screen, I hope, is going to be just as satiating for the audience.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019ll have to wait and see how Elle adapts to her new romantic reality when the series returns for Season 2.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
