Collider
Anya Taylor-Joy is preparing to return to the screen with the new crime thriller series "Lucky." Set to premiere on Apple TV on July 15, the series will consist of a total of seven episodes. In her role, Taylor-Joy will portray a character trying to distance herself from a past life of crime. This project is seen as a significant step in the young actress's career.
Taylor-Joy has previously appeared in big-budget productions like "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga" and "The New Mutants," but these projects did not achieve the expected success. "Furiosa" grossed $175 million worldwide, while "The New Mutants" reached $50 million with a limited release. However, Taylor-Joy's success with "The Gorge" marked a turning point in her career, and her collaboration with Apple TV continues.
The series "Lucky" was created by Jonathan Tropper and features notable names alongside Taylor-Joy, including Annette Bening, Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor, and Timothy Olyphant. The show is adapted from Marissa Stapley's novel and is executive produced by Reese Witherspoon. The story revolves around Taylor-Joy's character's struggle to gain her freedom by completing one last job.
The promotion for the series emphasizes that Taylor-Joy's character must confront her past life of crime. "Lucky" has a theme reminiscent of the final season of HBO's "Euphoria." As viewers eagerly await Taylor-Joy's performance, the series is set to open the doors to a new thrilling story on Apple TV.
