Today, at the 2026 Apple TV Press Day, the stars and creators of “Lucky” took the stage to reveal the premiere date, teaser video and first look at the anticipated limited drama starring Golden Globe Award winner, SAG Award winner and Emmy Award nominee Anya Taylor-Joy, who also serves as executive producer. With a star-studded ensemble cast that also includes Annette Bening, Timothy Olyphant, Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor, Drew Starkey, Clifton Collins Jr. and William Fichtner, “Lucky” will make its global debut on Apple TV with the first two episodes on Wednesday, 15 July, followed by new episodes every Wednesday through 19 August.
“Lucky” is based on the New York Times bestselling novel and Reese’s Book Club pick of the same name by Marissa Stapley. When a multi-million-dollar heist goes sideways, con artist Lucky (Anya Taylor-Joy) is forced to go on the run. Pursued by both the FBI and a ruthless crime boss, Lucky must fight for her life — and a way out.
Hailing from Apple Studios, “Lucky” is co-showrun, written and executive produced by Jonathan Tropper through his Tropper Ink banner and under his overall deal with Apple TV, alongside co-showrunner and executive producer Cassie Pappas. The series is executive produced by Reese Witherspoon and Lauren Neustadter for Hello Sunshine. Taylor-Joy executive produces through her production banner, LadyKiller. Jonathan van Tulleken, who directed the pilot, is also executive producing.
In addition to “Lucky,” Apple Originals produced by Hello Sunshine include Emmy, SAG and Critics Choice Award-winning series “Morning Wars,” starring Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston; “The Last Thing He Told Me,” starring Jennifer Garner; “Truth Be Told,” starring Octavia Spencer; and psychological thriller “Surface,” starring Gugu Mbatha-Raw.
