Summary
July 15 is the premiere date for Lucky, a seven-episode Apple TV+ crime thriller starring Anya Taylor-Joy as grifter Lucky Armstrong and marking her first producing credit.
Hello Sunshine said Taylor-Joy was the first and only actress it shared the source novel with, while Taylor-Joy called the restless lead a natural fit for her own instinct to keep moving.
The 29-year-old also confirmed she has been cast as a new elf character in Andy Serkis' The Hunt for Gollum, adding Middle-earth to a slate that also includes Dune: Part Three.
Taylor-Joy said Lucky is her most personal project yet, contrasting its hands-on creative control with earlier franchise work including Furiosa, where she spent months pushing for changes to her character's ending.
