Yara Sameh
Production has begun on Apple TV+'s limited series "Lucky," headlined and executive produced by Anya Taylor-Joy and executive produced by Reese Witherspoon.
Filming kicked off on Tuesday 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.
The adaptation is based on the Marissa Stapley novel of the same name. The book was a New York Times bestseller and a selection for Reese Witherspoon's Reese's Book Club.
Per the official logline, Taylor-Joy stars as "A young woman 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.'

Jonathan Van Tulleken will direct several episodes, including the pilot, and serve as executive producer.
