KEY ART

For the final season of "Double Cross", we crafted a compelling key art that encapsulates the show's intense drama and the high stakes of its narrative. Our team focused on creating a visual story that conveys the central theme of the series: the complex dynamics of family loyalty intertwined with the perilous world of crime.

The key art features the protagonists up close, reflecting the personal nature of their journey and the intricate web of their relationships. Their expressions are strong, determined, and hint at the underlying tension, suggesting a storyline filled with intrigue and betrayal. The tagline, "They are the wrong bloodline to cross," plays on words while effectively setting the tone for a season where crossing familial boundaries could have lethal consequence
