Anya Taylor-Joy (The Queen's Gambit) will star in and executive produce the limited series Lucky at Apple TV+, Variety reported. The project is based on Marissa Stapley's bestselling novel, which was a selection for Reese Witherspoon's Reese's Book Club.
Jonathan Tropper and Cassie Pappas are adapting the book and will serve as co-showrunners and executive producers. Witherspoon and Lauren Neustadter will executive produce for Hello Sunshine, while Taylor-Joy exec produces under her Ladykiller Films banner. Apple Studios is producing.
"Reese's Book Club began with the goal of deepening connections--to the stories, to the storytellers, and to the community we are building," Witherspoon said. "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."
"Hello Sunshine continues to do a fantastic job of championing women's voices and I'm thrilled to be joining the team alongside Jonathan, Cassie and Apple TV+ to bring Lucky to life," Taylor-Joy added.
