- Ijaaz Noohu, a former production assistant, filed a lawsuit against showrunner Ed Brubaker and the studios behind Amazon's upcoming comic book crime drama "Criminal"
- The lawsuit alleges a hostile work environment on set that included racial and sexual harassment
- Noohu is seeking unspecified damages from the defendants
- Ed Brubaker, the show's showrunner, is named as a defendant alongside the production studios involved
- "Criminal" is described as Amazon's upcoming comic book crime drama based on the source material
Why it matters: The lawsuit puts Amazon MGM and showrunner Ed Brubaker on the defensive over harassment allegations tied to an unreleased series still in production. Because damages are unspecified, the financial exposure for the defendants remains open-ended, and the case places on-set oversight directly under legal scrutiny before the show has even debuted.
