The 2013 Image Comics series Sex Criminals, written by Matt Fraction and illustrated by Chip Zdarsky, ran for 31 issues for six volumes and is now receiving a television treatment at Amazon’s Prime Video.
To pen the scripts about strangers who can stop time during sex, Emily V. Gordon and Kumail Nanjiani, the writers of The Big Sick, along with Tze Chun has been onboarded.
The loglines for comics read: “Suzie’s a normal girl with an extraordinary ability: when she has sex, she stops time. One night, she meets John… who has the same gift. And so they do what any other sex-having, time-stopping, couple would do: they rob banks.”
Along with Gordon and Nanjiani, Dani Melia will serve as executive producer, whereas Margot Robbie’s company, LuckyChap, will be involved in production. There has been no confirmed cast yet, but Nanjiani stars as the male lead.
“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.”
