Will the beloved comic series Criminal be the next hit? Prime Video has given a series order to Criminal. It’s based on the award winning comic series by Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips. Brubaker penned the pilot script. The series will be showrun by Jordan Harper.

Criminal is being produced by Amazon MGM Studios and has been fast tracked for development which began in 2023. Things were delayed due to the WGA strike.

Criminal is an amazing series of comics which each stand on their own but also connect in some ways too. While you can pick up and enjoy any volume, if you’ve read them all, you appreciate it all more. It’s described by Brubaker as an “interweaving saga of several generations of families tied together by crimes and murders of the past.”

Brubaker and Harper will executive produce along with Phillips, Sarah Carbiener, Phillip Barnett, and Legendary Television.
