Raquel Laguna/ SUCOPRESS. Actress Jeanine Mason stars as the lead antagonist in the new season of the crime-thriller CROSS, now on Prime Video. In this interview, Jeanine talks about Luz, her character, and about what she has learned working in the series. In Season 2, Jeanine delivers one of her most complex performances yet as Luz, a powerful vigilante who embarks on a calculated mission of justice for exploited agricultural farmworkers in her mother’s hometown in Mexico. Her storyline dives deep into themes of human labor exploitation and the moral cost of justice. CROSS is a complex, twisted, pulse-pounding thriller starring and executive produced by Aldis Hodge and created by executive producer, showrunner, and writer Ben Watkins, based upon the characters from James Patterson’s best-selling Alex Cross book series. Starring Aldis Hodge, Cross season two follows “Alex Cross,” the decorated D.C. homicide detective and forensic psychologist whose current mission involves chasing a murderous vigilante stalking an agri-business billionaire. “Alex Cross” is uniquely capable of digging into the psyches of killers and their victims, in order to identify—and ultimately capture—the murderers. The series is headlined by an ensemble cast including Hodge, Isaiah Mustafa as “John Sampson,” Alona Tal as “Kayla Craig,” Jeanine Mason as “Luz,” Wes Chatham as “Donnie,” Matthew Lillard as “Lance Durand,” Samantha Walkes as “Elle Monteiro,” Jennifer Wigmore as “Chief Anderson,” Johnny Ray Gill as “Bobby Trey,” and Sharon Taylor as “Lt. Oracene Massey." Portraying “Alex Cross’” family are Juanita Jennings as “Nana Mama”, Melody Hurd as “Janelle” and Caleb Elijah as “Damon.” The series is based on the characters written by best-selling author James Patterson, created by showrunner and writer Ben Watkins.
