In addition to unveiling the teaser, Apple TV released the first photos from the limited series.

The cast includes Annette Bening, Timothy Olyphant, Aunjanue Ellis Taylor, Drew Starkey, Clifton Collins, Jr., and William Fichtner. Apple TV’s set a July 15, 2026 premiere date, with new episodes of the seven-episode season streaming on Wednesdays.

“When a multi-million-dollar heist goes sideways, con artist Lucky (Taylor-Joy) is forced to go on the run,” reads Apple TV’s synopsis. “Pursued by both the FBI and a ruthless crime boss, Lucky must fight for her life—and a way out.”

Jonathan Tropper created the series, based on Marissa Stapley’s New York Times bestseller. Tropper and Cassie Pappas guide the series as showrunners.
