Lucky is based on the novel of the same name by Marissa Stapley. The plot follows Lucky as she navigates a dangerous escape: “When a million-dollar heist goes wrong, con artist Lucky (Anya Taylor-Joy) 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.”
Joining Taylor-Joy in the cast are Annette Bening, Timothy Olyphant, Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor, and Drew Starkey. The series represents a continued investment in original action content for Apple TV+, which is increasingly competitive in the streaming landscape.
