Game of Thrones veteran Emilia Clarke has joined Prime Video’s upcoming Criminal series adaptation based on the graphic novels by Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips, per Variety.
Criminal follows “an inter-generational story of families connected through shared criminal history.” Brubaker and Jordan Harper (Hightown) will serve as showrunners with Ryan Fleck and Anna Boden (Captain Marvel) directing the first four episodes.
Clarke, who was most recently seen in Marvel’s Secret Invasion, will play Mallory, “a slick and daring armed robber, as quick with a gun as she is with her wits. Part of a heist crew with Ricky Lawless, who she’s in a passionate Bonnie-and-Clyde-like affair with. Mallory is a woman on the edge, living on the wrong side of the law and hiding secrets that will bring her and her entire crew into the danger zone.”
The actress joins a cast that includes Charlie Hunnam, Richard Jenkins, John Hawkes, Adria Arjona, Logan Browning, Kadeem Hardison, Pat Healy, Taylor Sele, Gus Halper, Aliyah Camacho, Michael Mando, Marvin Jones III, Michael Xavier and Dominic Burgess.
