Timothy Olyphant (Justified, The Book of Boba Fett) is set to star alongside Anya Taylor-Joy in the series Lucky, which is based on the New York Times bestselling novel by Marissa Stapley.
Lucky follows “a young woman (Taylor-Joy) who left behind the life of crime she was raised in years ago, but must now embrace her darker, criminal side one final time in a desperate attempt to escape her past.”
Olyphant will play Lucky’s father, John.
Lucky is produced by Hello Sunshine and Tropper Ink, and it was created by Jonathan Tropper for Apple TV+. Tropper serves as co-showrunner alongside Cassie Pappas (Silo, Griselda).
The series is executive produced by Reese Witherspoon, who said: “Reese’s Book Club began with the goal of deepening connections – to the stories, to the storytellers, and to the community we are building.
“It is incredibly rewarding to be able to amplify these female-centric stories and their authors, see our community connect with them, then see them take on a whole new life on screen.
“We couldn’t be more excited to partner with Apple TV+ and the incomparable Anya Taylor-Joy, plus our brilliant creator Jonathan Tropper and his wonderful co-showrunner Cassie Pappas, to bring this compelling series – based on Marissa Stapley’s fantastic novel – to audiences around the world.”
Jonathan Van Tulleken will direct several episodes, including the pilot, and serve as executive producer.
Olyphant recently wrapped filming on Jorma Taccone’s upcoming thriller The Trip. He can next be seen starring in Noah Hawley’s Alien: Earth for FX. He can also be seen in Havoc alongside Tom Hardy for Netflix and the Amazon series, Daisy Jones and the Six.
