Ron Perlman (Sons of Anarchy, Hellboy) has joined Prime Video‘s Cross for Season 3, in a reunion with showrunner Ben Watkins, following their collaboration on Hand of God.

In a recurring role, Perlman will portray Herschel Zamora, who is a cop first and everything else second. Following a series of troubling work-related incidents, Officer Zamora is referred to Dr. Alex Cross (Aldis Hodge) for therapy. As Cross digs deeper, he realizes Zamora may be concealing something far more troubling than PTSD.

Cross, based upon characters created by James Patterson, is a Washington, DC based crime drama that follows Alex Cross (Aldis Hodge), a brilliant homicide detective and forensic psychologist, uniquely capable of digging into the minds of serial killers in order to identify and catch them.

Season 2 followed Cross in pursuit of a ruthless vigilante who is hunting down corrupt billionaire magnates.

Renewed for a third season, the hit thriller will continue to expand the high-stakes world of its lead character, building on its storytelling and performances.

Season 1 drew 40 million viewers globally in its first 20 days on Prime Video. The series ranked as the third most-watched premiere on the service in 2025, and reached No.1 on Prime Video in more than 100 countries, according to Nielsen.

Cross was developed for television by showrunner and executive producer Watkins and produced by Amazon, MGM Studios, and Paramount Television Studios. Season 2 was executive produced by Craig Siebels, Patterson, Sam Ernst, Jim Dunn, Aiyana White, J. David Shanks, Owen Shiflett, Bill Robinson, Patrick Santa, and Hodge.

Perlman is represented by Link Entertainment.
