Amazon’s Prime Video has picked up an eight-Mepisode show based on the acclaimed graphic novel series Sex Criminals by Matt Fraction and Chip Zdarsky, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Kumail Nanjiani, Emily V. Gordon (The Big Sick) and Tze Chun (Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai) are co-creators of the series, and Nanjiani is also set for an acting role.
Perhaps best described as Bonnie & Clyde meets The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Sex Criminals follows the heartfelt, yet laugh-out-loud romance of Suzie and Jon. When Suzie and Jon have sex, time stops. Literally. So they have lots of sex, fall in love, and eventually start robbing banks. Until they find out they’re not alone…
Upon launch, Sex Criminals sold out and went back to print dozens of times, was translated around the world in a half-dozen different languages, and was banned and praised in equal measure. It went on to become TIME Magazine’s “Comic of the Year” and won prestigious Eisner and Harvey awards for “Best New Series.” Sex Criminals dominated the mainstream media’s “Best of” lists—including that of TIME and Entertainment Weekly, Fraction appeared on Late Night with Seth Meyers to promote the series, and the title has since maintained a top ranking amongst regularly reordered titles and remains one of the most popular and buzzy comic book series of all time.
