The show will feature Charlie Hunnam – who is no stranger to the genre, having starred in bothThe Gentlemen(movie) andSons of Anarchy
Originally created as a mini-series for Marvel imprint Icon, theCriminalbooks have become hugely popular for their realistic take on old-school gangster themes – especially as they subvert typical genre clichés in clever fashion.
It could be a while anyway, as the production wagon has only started rolling, it seems. Brubaker and Phillips are said to be executive producing, alongside Jordan harper, Sarah Carbiener, and Phillip Barnett.
The directors attached to the project so far are Ryan Fleck and Anna Boden, who have also helmedCaptain Marvel,Billions, andMasters of the Airtogether. They will collaborate on the first four episodes with other directors yet to be announced.
Also landing roles in the first season ofCriminalare Adria Arjona (Good Omens) and Richard Jenkins (The Shape of Water).

It’s worth noting that, if the show is successful and continues beyond an initial run, the comic books tend to tell different stories per collection, but based in the same world and with a few crossovers. It could be that we see a new cast per season, therefore.
If you’re looking for another mature comic book-based TV series to binge beforeCriminalfinally hits thestreaming service, you can always check outInvincible. Even though it animated, it is very much R-rated as newbie superhero Mark Grayson discovers and develops his powers amid a sea of blood and gore.
Don’t say we didn’t warn you.
