The trailer introduces us to Taylor-Joy's titular character, a con artist who is forced to go on the run when a multi-million-dollar heist goes sideways.
It also shows us some of the series' frenetic action, as Lucky is chased by both the FBI and a ruthless crime boss.
As the trailer, which you can watch below, reveals, the series will premiere on Wednesday 15th July 2026. While the first two episodes will be dropped on this date, after the small screen premiere, one episode will be released per week until 19th August.

Alongside Taylor-Joy, Lucky also stars Annette Bening (Apples Never Fall), Timothy Olyphant (Alien: Earth), Aunjanue Ellis Taylor (Nickel Boys), Drew Starkey (Outer Banks), Clifton Collins Jr (The Last Frontier) and William Fichtner (Beef), and is based on novel of the same name by Marissa Stapley.
The series comes from co-showrunners Jonathan Tropper (Your Friends and Neighbours) and Cassie Pappas (Silo), and is executive produced by Reese Witherspoon and Lauren Levy Neustadter for Hello Sunshine.
Taylor-Joy previously teamed up with Apple TV for 2025 film The Gorge, but hasn't starred in a TV series since the end of Peaky Blinders back in 2022.
