Production
Crime 101 was developed through a collaboration of British studios Raw, Working Title Films, and The Story Factory in association with Amazon MGM Studios. The screenplay adaptation was crafted by Bart Layton together with Peter Straughan. Executive producers comprise Eric Fellner, Tim Bevan, Dimitri Doganis, Derrin Schlesinger, Shane Salerno, Layton himself, and Hemsworth along with Ben Grayson. After a competitive bidding war in 2023 that initially involved Pedro Pascal, Amazon acquired the novella rights. Principal filming commenced in Los Angeles in October 2024. The cast expanded later that year to include Halle Berry, Corey Hawkins, Monica Barbaro, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Nick Nolte, Tate Donovan among others. Editing responsibilities are handled by Jacob Secher Schulsinger.
