As filming of the upcoming Apple TV+ limited series Lucky is underway, the show has cast William Fitchner and Eric Lange in major roles. As Deadline reports, both are cast in recurring roles, but the names of their characters are yet to be revealed.

Information about the show is gradually being released. All we know is that the show is currently being filmed in LA and Las Vegas and is based on the best-selling novel of the same name by Marissa Stapley. It was created for television by Jonathan Tropper. Anna Taylor-Joy is the protagonist and an executive producer on the show.

Taylor-Joy is known for playing complex characters like Beth Harmon in The Queen's Gambit and Margot in The Menu. It looks like her new role is as challenging as her past ones. Anna plays a young woman who was raised in an environment filled with crime but has left that life. Lucky will tell us the story of her having to go back to the dangerous past to completely be free of it. To do so, she has to get into the shoes of her criminal self for one last time.
