Production has started on Apple TV+’s limited series Lucky, headlined and executive produced by Anya Taylor-Joy and executive produced by Reese Witherspoon. Filming kicked off last night in Las Vegas before the show moves to its main location, Los Angeles.
Lucky, which also stars Annette Bening, Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor, Timothy Olyphant and Drew Starkey, will be filming in LA after scoring a $10.682M California tax credit in December as an untitled Apple Studios Series. The shoot comes amid an industrywide push to bring production to Los Angeles, which has become stronger and more urgent following the devastating January wildfires.
Written by Jonathan Tropper based on Marissa Stapley’s bestselling novel, Lucky centers on 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.
