“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 multimillion-dollar heist goes sideways, con artist Lucky (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 and Hello Sunshine, “Lucky” is created, co-showrun, written and executive produced by Jonathan Tropper through his Tropper Ink banner and under his overall deal with Apple TV. Executive producer Cassie Pappas serves as co-showrunner alongside Tropper. 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, also executive produces.

In addition to “Lucky,” Apple Originals produced by Hello Sunshine include Emmy, SAG and Critics Choice Award-winning series “The Morning Show,” 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.
