Written by Jonathan Tropper and Cassie Pappas, Lucky follows a young woman who thought she had successfully left her criminal past behind. However, circumstances force her back into the dangerous world she escaped years ago. To finally secure her freedom, she must embrace the darker side of herself one last time, setting the stage for a tense and action-packed journey.
According to the official synopsis, Lucky is a former con artist whose life spirals out of control after a multi-million-dollar heist goes horribly wrong. With both the FBI and a ruthless crime boss closing in on her, she is forced to go on the run while fighting for survival. As old secrets resurface and loyalties are tested, Lucky must rely on the very skills she hoped never to use again.
The trailer offers a glimpse of Anya Taylor-Joy in a role that blends vulnerability, intelligence, and danger. Best known for her performances in The Queen's Gambit, The Menu, and Furiosa, the actress appears perfectly suited for the morally complex character. The footage teases thrilling chase sequences, tense confrontations, and the kind of psychological twists that crime drama fans love.
Beyond Taylor-Joy's leading performance, Lucky boasts an impressive ensemble cast. The series stars Annette Bening, Timothy Olyphant, Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor, Clifton Collins Jr., Drew Starkey, William Fichtner, and Mo McRae. With a lineup of acclaimed actors and a story rooted in deception, survival, and redemption, the series is shaping up to be one of Apple TV+'s biggest original releases of the year.
The project is adapted from Marissa Stapley's novel, which became a New York Times bestseller and was selected as a Reese's Book Club pick. Jonathan Tropper serves as creator and writer, while directing duties are shared by Jonathan van Tulleken, Greg Yaitanes, and Jet Wilkinson. The creative team behind the series has extensive experience in crafting intense character-driven dramas, raising expectations for the adaptation.
With its blend of crime, mystery, and emotional stakes, Lucky looks set to deliver a binge-worthy thriller for audiences this summer. The newly released trailer has already sparked excitement among fans of the novel and viewers eager to see Anya Taylor-Joy tackle another complex and unpredictable character.
Lucky premieres exclusively on Apple TV+ on July 15, 2026.
