The cast of Ed Brubaker’s graphic novel series Criminal is coming together with the addition of Adria Arjona in a series regular role. She joins previously announced, Richard Jenkins.

Criminal is an interlocking universe of crime stories based on the multi-Eisner Award-winning graphic novel series created by Brubaker and Sean Phillips.
