- Luke Evans plays Tracy Lawless, whose return from the Army brings Ricky and Leo’s tragic family history into the story; Part Two follows him 20 years after he chose the Army over prison.
- Criminal Part One follows Leo and Ricky as a childhood murder and a heist gone wrong expose decades-old family secrets and bring them face-to-face with a past they cannot escape.
- Amazon MGM Studios produces Criminal with Basement Gang, Big Indie Pictures, Gowanus Projections and Legendary Television, with Brubaker, Phillips, Dee Rees, Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck among the executive producers.
Why it matters: Prime Video has secured an exclusive, two-date global launch, with four “Coward” episodes on January 13 and four “Lawless” episodes on January 27 across more than 240 territories. For viewers, the staggered rollout turns the adaptation from one premiere into two separate crime-story viewing events.
