HeyUGuys sits down with Lucky showrunners and executive producers Cassie Pappas and Jonathan Tropper to discuss bringing Apple TV+'s gripping new thriller to the screen.

The pair explain how they first teamed up to adapt the bestselling novel, why the series is much more than a crime thriller, and how the emotional father-daughter relationship became the heart of the show.

They also discuss working with Anya Taylor-Joy, why she was integral to the project from the beginning, and reveal how Annette Bening brought unexpected depth and humanity to the ruthless Priscilla.

Freda Cooper asks the questions.
