       Prime Video Greenlights Racy Sex Criminals TV Show,   
       Kumail Nanjiani Will Star   
       ---------------------------------------------------   
       Prime Video has greenlit a Sex Criminals TV show.   
      
       Sex Criminals is an Image Comics series written by Matt Fraction   
       and illustrated by Chip Zdarsky. The series officially launched   
       in 2013 and ran for 31 issues over six volumes. It centers   
       around two people who discover they have the power to stop time   
       when they have sex, an ability they then use to rob banks.   
      
       What do we know about the Sex Criminals show?   
       Per Deadline, Amazon MGM Studios has given a Sex Criminals TV   
       show an eight-episode order. It comes from writers Kumail   
       Nanjiani, Emily V. Gordon, and Tze Chun. Nanjiani, who is   
       married to Gordon, will also star in the show.   
      
       The solicitation for the comic series' first issue reads,   
       "Suzie's a normal girl with an extraordinary ability: when she   
       has sex, she stops time. One night she meets Jon... who has the   
       same gift. And so they do what any other sex-having,   
       time-stopping, couple would do: they rob banks."   
      
       Margot Robbie's LuckyChap Entertainment is involved with the   
       show, as Sun and Dani Gorin will executive produce Sex   
       Criminals for the production company alongside Gordon,   
       Nanjiani, and Dani Melia for Winter Coat Films, and Fraction   
       and Zdarsky. Louie Hayes will serve as producer.   
      
       "Sex Criminals is the exact kind of thing Winter Coat aims to   
       bring to life: love stories in weird places," Gordon and   
       Nanjiani said in a statement. "From the moment LuckyChap   
       brought us Matt and Chip's comic book, we knew we wanted to   
       bring these characters to screen and are so excited to do that   
       alongside Tze Chun and Prime Video."   
      
       Fraction and Zdarsky added, "We're overjoyed to have such   
       talented people bring our dumb comic to life."   
      
       Amazon MGM Studios' Peter Friedlander said, "Sex Criminals is   
       bold, hilarious, and wildly original, with a love story at its   
       core that feels both deeply human and completely unexpected.   
       "Emily, Kumail, and Tze have brought a fresh, and emotionally   
       grounded take to this incredible property. With our   
       collaborators at LuckyChap, Winter Coat Films, and comic book   
       creators Matt Fraction and Chip Zdarsky, we're thrilled to   
       bring this unforgettable world and its characters to our global   
       Prime Video audience."
