Prime Video’s upcoming Sex Criminals series just picked up two sharp new additions. Joseph Lee, the Emmy-nominated breakout from Beef, and Sunita Mani, known for His & Hers and GLOW, have joined the cast in significant recurring roles.
The series is based on the acclaimed Image Comics title Sex Criminals, created by Matt Fraction and Chip Zdarsky. The comic built a loyal following with its offbeat blend of romance, crime, comedy, and surreal adult fantasy, and the Prime Video adaptation is shaping up to be one of the streamer’s more distinctive upcoming projects.
Sex Criminals Prime Video Cast Adds Joseph Lee and Sunita Mani
Lee and Mani join previously announced leads Imogen Poots and John Reynolds, who are set to anchor the story. Prime Video has also lined up a strong supporting ensemble that includes Pamela Adlon, BD Wong, Ayden Mayeri, and Ashleigh Cummings.
Details about Lee and Mani’s characters are being kept quiet for now, but their casting adds even more range to a project that already had a strong comedy-drama backbone. Lee brought a quiet intensity and emotional punch to Netflix’s Beef, while Mani has built a reputation for stealing scenes in projects that mix absurd comedy with real heart.
What Is Sex Criminals About?
The original Sex Criminals comic follows two people who discover they can stop time after sex. Naturally, they decide to use that unusual ability to rob banks. What starts as a wild hook turns into a story about intimacy, shame, money, relationships, and the weird ways people try to survive adulthood.
That tone could make the series a natural fit for Prime Video, which has found success with bold comic-book adaptations and genre-bending shows. If handled well, Sex Criminals could land somewhere between an adult comedy, a heist story, and a character-driven romance with a very strange superpower at its center.
Sex Criminals Release Date and Streaming Availability
Prime Video has not announced an official Sex Criminals release date yet. The streamer also has not confirmed a trailer, episode count, or premiere window, so fans of the comic will need to wait a little longer for the next round of updates.
Still, the expanding cast suggests development is moving forward, and the combination of Poots, Reynolds, Lee, Mani, Adlon, Wong, Mayeri, and Cummings gives the series plenty of reason to stay on the radar.
