Prime Video's Sex Criminals Races Through Filming: Week Two Wrapped!

Prime Video's live-action Sex Criminals adaptation is officially zooming through production, with executive producer Tze Chun confirming the series just wrapped its second week of filming. This is big news for fans who have patiently waited over a decade for Matt Fraction and Chip Zdarsky's acclaimed Image Comics series to hit the screen.

Fraction and Zdarsky's Eisner-winning comic, known for its irreverent humor and bold premise, follows Suze (Imogen Poots) and Jon (Sebastian Stan), a couple with a bizarre shared ability: they stop time when they have sex. Their solution? Rob banks. It's a concept that demands careful adaptation, and the production seems to be hitting the ground running.

The 8-episode streaming series boasts a strong creative team. Director Nia DaCosta (Candyman, 28 Years Later) is helming the pilot and second episode, promising a distinct visual style. Kumail Nanjiani, who also executive produces alongside Emily V. Gordon, Tze Chun, and the comic creators themselves, is part of the ensemble cast. Pamela Adlon, BD Wong, Ayden Mayeri, and Ashleigh Cummings round out the cast, bringing serious talent to this much-anticipated project. The quick pace of filming suggests a committed team eager to bring this unique story to life.
