There’s a new book adaptation headed for our screens, and it stars none other than Anya Taylor-Joy. Titled Lucky, the series is an adaptation of Marissa Stapley’s best-selling novel by the same name, and is slated for release on Apple TV+. If that wasn’t enough to whet your appetite, it’s set to be executive produced by Reese Witherspoon, whose production company Hello Sunshine was behind recent hits like Morning Wars, Daisy Jones & The Six, and Big Little Lies, to name only a few. 

Below, everything we know so far.

What is Lucky about?

The official synopsis for the series certainly has our interest piqued. It says 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.” Of course, Taylor-Joy has proven herself adept at these darker storylines, having previously starred in hits like The Menu, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, and Split over the years.

Who else is involved in Lucky?

While no other cast-members have been announced, we do know that Taylor-Joy and Witherspoon are both on board as executive producers.

As for why she took on the project (which was first a select for her book club), Witherspoon said, “Reese’s Book Club began with the goal of deepening connections – to the stories, to the storytellers, and to the community we are building. 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."

Jonathan Tropper and Cassie Pappas are charged with adapting the book for the screen, and will serve as co-showrunners and executive producers.

When will Lucky be released?

There's no word yet on when Lucky will hit our screens, but with the cast yet to be finalised, we suspect it could be 2026 before we see this project come to life.
