Anya Taylor-Joy Cast in Crime Thriller for Apple TV+
Anya Taylor-Joy, known for her roles in Netflix’s The Queen’s Gambit and Emma, is set to star in a new Apple TV+ limited series called Lucky. The series, based on a best-selling novel by Marissa Stapley, follows a young woman who must navigate her life of crime to escape her past. Reese Witherspoon’s company, Hello Sunshine, is producing the show to highlight female-led stories in entertainment, and Taylor-Joy is excited to join the effort.
Originally published in 2021, Lucky tells the story of Lucky Armstrong, who faces a million-dollar heist, a lottery ticket worth millions, and a journey to confront her past.

This new series with Taylor-Joy joins the ranks of few projects that feature Latina leads, highlighting a positive shift towards more inclusive storytelling. It’s great to see talented actors like Taylor-Joy making waves in the entertainment world and bringing important stories to the screen.
