Apple TV has unveiled the first look at Lucky, a new limited drama series starring Anya Taylor-Joy in her first small-screen role since Netflix hit The Queen's Gambit in 2020.

Per the official synopsis, "When a multi-million-dollar heist goes sideways, con artist Lucky is forced to go on the run. Pursued by both the FBI and a ruthless crime boss, Lucky must fight for her life – and a way out." The action-packed teaser certainly lives up to this promise: we get fleeting glimpses of Lucky leaping between buildings, burning vehicles, an FBI raid, and even some romance.

Next up for Taylor-Joy is The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, in which she'll return as the voice of Princess Peach. Later this year, she'll also star as Alia Atreides in Dune 3.
