Anya Taylor-Joy as a con artist on the run? HELL YEAH! Lucky is almost here and this limited series risks becoming our new obsession! Here’s everything we know about the show that steals our hearts.
Lucky is based on the New York Times bestselling novel and Reese’s Book Club pick of the same name by Marissa Stapley. In the story, when a multi-million-dollar heist goes sideways, con artist Lucky is forced to go on the run. Pursued by both the FBI and a ruthless crime boss, Lucky must fight for her life — and a way out.
As we said, the limited series stars Golden Globe Award winner, SAG Award winner and Emmy Award nominee Anya Taylor-Joy. Also the show features a star-studded ensemble cast that includes Annette Bening, Timothy Olyphant, Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor, Drew Starkey, Clifton Collins Jr., William Fichtner, and Mo McRae.
Hailing from Apple Studios, Lucky is co-showrun, written and executive produced by Jonathan Tropper through his Tropper Ink banner and under his overall deal with Apple TV, alongside co-showrunner and executive producer Cassie Pappas.
The series is executive produced by Reese Witherspoon and Lauren Neustadter for Hello Sunshine. Taylor-Joy executive produces through her production banner, LadyKiller. Jonathan van Tulleken, who directed the pilot, is also executive producing. Greg Yaitanes and Jet Wilkinson will join van Tulleken in the director’s chair.
