Apple TV+ launches thriller series Lucky starring Anya Taylor‑Joy

Apple TV+ debuted the new series Lucky on 15 July. The eight‑part drama, adapted from Marissa Stapley’s novel, follows con‑artist Luciana “Lucky” Armstrong, played by Anya Taylor‑Joy, who must evade both the FBI and a ruthless crime boss after a botched millionaire heist. Taylor‑Joy also serves as an executive producer. The cast includes Annette Bening, Timothy Olyphant, Aunjanue Ellis‑Taylor, Clifton Collins Jr., Drew Starkey and William Fichtner.

Critical response has been mixed; German reviewers described the series as a “bad drama” with pacing issues and under‑developed supporting characters, despite the high‑profile talent involved.
