Apple TV+ is turning up the heat this summer with Lucky, a new limited drama crime series headlined by Golden Globe winner and Emmy nominee Anya Taylor-Joy (The Menu, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga) who also serves as an executive producer.
The series makes its global debut on Wednesday, July 15, launching with the first two episodes. (New episodes will roll out weekly every Wednesday through to the finale on August 19.)
Based on Marissa Stapley’s New York Times bestselling novel of the same name, Lucky centers on a razor-sharp con artist whose carefully constructed world collapses in an instant.
When a multi-million-dollar heist goes catastrophically wrong, Lucky (Taylor-Joy) is forced into a desperate run for survival. Hunted by the FBI and a ruthless crime boss with no intention of letting her disappear, Lucky must rely on her wits, instincts, and nerve to stay alive, and find a way out of a life built on deception.
Taylor-Joy leads a star-studded ensemble that includes Annette Bening, Timothy Olyphant, Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor, Drew Starkey, Clifton Collins Jr., and William Fichtner.
Lucky hails from Apple Studios and is co-showrun, written, and executive produced by Jonathan Tropper (Banshee, Warrior) through his Tropper Ink banner, under his overall deal with Apple TV+, alongside co-showrunner and executive producer Cassie Pappas.
Reese Witherspoon and Lauren Neustadter executive produce for Hello Sunshine, continuing the company’s track record of championing female-driven stories.
Taylor-Joy executive produces through her LadyKiller banner, and Jonathan van Tulleken, who directed the pilot episode, also serves as an executive producer.
