Cross S2 Cast on Moral Gray Areas, Craziest Google Search, and Backstories That Deepen Season 2
Hello everyone! My name is Chris, and welcome to another episode of Once and Always a Fanboy.
Season one was about catching a monster. Season two asks a deeper question… what if the person doing the killing believes they are right? This season, the world of Cross becomes more personal, more layered, and far more dangerous.
Today, I am joined by the cast and creator of Cross Season 2 to talk about moral gray areas, hidden backstories, and the deeper emotional stakes behind this story.
