Prime Video has added Joseph Lee and Sunita Mani to the cast of its upcoming series adaptation of Image Comics' "Sex Criminals." Both actors will appear in significant recurring roles.

The series is expected to draw from the established lore and character arcs of the original comic, while also forging its own path on the streaming platform.
