The Queen’s Gambit and Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga actress Anya Taylor-Joy has signed on to star in and executive produce the Apple TV+ limited series, Lucky.
The drama is based on the best-selling novel by the same name by Marissa Stapley, which was also a Reese’s Book Club pick. Advertisement
“Reese’s Book Club began with the goal of deepening connections — to the stories, to the storytellers and to the community we are building,” producer Reese Witherspoon said in a press release Monday.
“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,” she added.
