Transatlantic is thrilled to announce that Apple TV+ will expand its award-winning original series lineup with Marissa Stapley’s LUCKY; a new limited drama set to star Golden Globe and SAG Award winner, and Emmy Award-nominee Anya Taylor-Joy (“The Queen’s Gambit,” “The Menu,” “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga,” upcoming “Sacrifice”), who will also serve as executive producer.
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.
“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,” said Reese Witherspoon. “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.”
“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 star and executive producer Anya Taylor-Joy.
LUCKY will be co-showrun, written and executive produced by Jonathan Tropper (upcoming “Your Friends & Neighbors,” “See,” “The Adam Project”) through his Tropper Ink banner and under his overall deal with Apple TV+, alongside Cassie Pappas (“Silo,” “Griselda”). The series will be executive produced by Reese Witherspoon and Lauren Neustadter for Hello Sunshine, a part of Candle Media. Anya Taylor-Joy will executive produce through her production banner Ladykiller Films.
