Additional cast members include John Hawkes, Logan Browning, Kadeem Hardison, Pat Healy, Taylor Sele, Aliyah Camacho, Michael Mando, Marvin Jones III, Michael Xavier, and Dominic Burgess.

The Daenerys Targaryen actress also landed her next movie role last month, confirmed to be joining the cast of upcoming Netflix film The Twits.
The animated movie is based on the classic Roald Dahl children's book of the same name about a couple who happen to be the "meanest, smelliest, nastiest people in the world".

Criminal will stream on Prime Video at a later date.
