Apple TV has set July 15 as the premiere date for the first two episodes of its television adaptation of Lucky, based on the book by Marissa Stapley.
The cast and creators behind the series revealed the news on stage at Apple TV’s 2026 press day along with a teaser video and first-look photos. New episodes will arrive every Wednesday through August 19.
Lucky stars Anya Taylor-Joy, Drew Starkey, Aunjanue Ellis Taylor, Annette Bening, Timothy Olyphant, Clifton Collins, Jr. and William Fictner.
Taylor-Joy, who also serves as executive producer on the series, stars as con artist Lucky, who is forced to go on the run when a multi-million-dollar heist goes sideways. Pursued by both the FBI and a ruthless crime boss (Bening), Lucky must fight for her life — and a way out.
Olyphant will portray Lucky’s father John. Bening’s dangerous mob leader’s name is Priscilla. Deadline exclusively reported that Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor will portray Agent Billie Rand. We also broke the news that Outer Banks star Drew Starky, who is also set to star in the upcoming A24 film Deep Cuts based on Holly Brickley’s novel, will play Cary, Lucky’s husband.
