Anya Taylor-Joy is set to lead headline Lucky, a new crime series coming to Apple TV+. Lucky is based on the New York Times bestseller by Marissa Stapley. What is the show about? According to a recent press release, “Taylor-Joy stars as a young woman who left behind the life of crime she was raised in years ago, but must now embrace her darker, criminal side one final time in a desperate attempt to escape her past.”
Jonathan Tropper is the series creator and executive producer. Reese Witherspoon and Lauren Neustadter will produce under their Hello Sunshine banner, while Taylor-Joy will executive produce through her company, LadyKiller.
“It is incredibly rewarding to be able to amplify these female-centric stories and their authors, see our community connect with them, then see them take on a whole new life on screen,” Witherspoon said in a statement. “We couldn’t be more excited to partner with Apple TV+ and the incomparable Anya Taylor-Joy, plus our brilliant creator Jonathan Tropper and his wonderful co-showrunner Cassie Pappas, to bring this compelling series — based on Marissa Stapley’s fantastic novel — to audiences around the world.”
“Hello Sunshine continues to do a fantastic job of championing women’s voices and I’m thrilled to be joining the team alongside Jonathan, Cassie, and Apple TV+ to bring Lucky to life,” said Taylor-Joy.
