Prime Video launches its most ambitious crime programming slate to date, bringing back-to-back bestselling book-to-screen adaptations – including Scarpetta, 56 Days, Cross Season Two and more – to audiences worldwide
March 4, 2026 — ‘Crime On Prime’ kicks off an impressive lineup of crime and thriller programming throughout early 2026, with adaptations of works from bestselling authors James Patterson, Patricia Cornwell, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and Catherine Ryan Howard. With a fast-paced rollout of gripping series and original stories, Prime Video cements its status as the ultimate destination for premium crime content.
The season of ‘Crime On Prime’ launched with the long-awaited return of Prime Video’s hit crime thriller Cross, based on characters created by bestselling author James Patterson, from showrunner Ben Watkins and executive produced by and starring Aldis Hodge as Alex Cross. In Season Two, stakes intensify as Cross pursues a ruthless vigilante targeting corrupt billionaire magnates. Season One drew more than 40 million viewers globally in its first 20 days, cementing the series as a breakout hit for Prime Video.
Swiftly following the pulse-pounding escapades of Alex Cross, comes the new series 56 Days, starring Dove Cameron as Ciara, Avan Jogia as Oliver, Karla Souza as Inspector Lee Reardon and Dorian Missick as Inspector Karl Connolly. Adapted from Catherine Ryan Howard’s novel, 56 Days portrays the story of a couple who fall dangerously fast in love, only for a decomposing body to be found 56 days later in Oliver’s apartment. Intercutting between the intense romance and the grim investigation, 56 Days asks the ultimate question: Who killed who?
