Emmy nominee Anya Taylor-Joy (The Queen’s Gambit) is confirmed to star in and executive produce Lucky, a limited drama set up at Apple TV+. The series based on Marissa Stapley’s bestselling Reese’s Book Club pick has Jonathan Tropper attached as writer, executive producer, and co-showrunner.
“Reese’s Book Club began with the goal of deepening connections — to the stories, to the storytellers, and to the community we are building,” stated Reese Witherspoon. “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. 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.”
Apple TV+ offered this description of the series: “In Lucky, 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.”
Apple TV+ didn’t provide any details on when filming is expected to begin.
“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 Anya Taylor-Joy.
Taylor-Joy’s recent credits include Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, Dune: Part Two, Amsterdam, The Menu, Last Night in Soho, and Peaky Blinders.
