James Patterson Books Made into TV Shows

When it comes to the new series on Prime Video, the creator, showrunner, and executive producer, Ben Watkins, had a different vision in mind for who he wanted to portray Alex Cross. “I had a dream that Aldis would be Alex Cross,” Watkins said in an interview. “He was the blueprint. Aldis exudes this curiosity. He is wise beyond his years, but in a grounded way. He has this very intense intellectual feel to him, and I knew Alex Cross had to have that. But I also needed the vulnerability. Because for this to work—and it’s one of the things I’m most proud of about this series—Alex Cross can’t be a superhero.” Aside from Cross, which airs on November 14, there are several other series based on James Patterson’s iconic character.
