- Lucky premieres Wednesday, July 15 on Apple TV, adapted from Marissa Stapley's novel and produced by Hello Sunshine.
- The limited series contains seven episodes, with the first two arriving on premiere day and the remaining five dropping weekly on Wednesdays through the August 19 finale.
- Anya Taylor-Joy stars as con artist Luciana Anderson, whose million-dollar heist goes sideways and forces her to flee both the FBI and a ruthless mob boss.
- The cast includes Drew Starkey as Lucky's husband Cary, Timothy Olyphant as her con-artist father John, Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor as FBI Agent Billie Rand, and Annette Bening as mob boss Priscilla, with Clifton Collins Jr. and William Fichtner also starring.
- Stapley is writing a follow-up novel set in the same world, leaving the door open for additional story beyond the current seven-episode run.
Why it matters: Apple TV is using a prestige limited-series model — front-loading two episodes to hook viewers, then stretching the remaining five across five weekly drops — for a Reese Witherspoon-produced thriller headlined by Anya Taylor-Joy, a bankable draw after 'The Queen's Gambit' and 'Furiosa.'
