The first name before Lucky’s nickname is Luciana.
Anya Taylor-Joy plays Luciana “Lucky” Armstrong, the central character in Apple TV’s crime thriller miniseries. “Lucky” is the name most often used in the story and in the show’s title, but Luciana is her given first name and Armstrong is her family name.
The character’s formal name helps distinguish her from the other major figures around her. Cary Masterson is Lucky’s husband, Priscilla Masterson is her mother-in-law and a dangerous mob boss, and John Armstrong is Lucky’s incarcerated father. The use of both Luciana and Lucky reflects the character’s divided life: she is trying to move beyond the criminal world in which she was raised while still relying on the skills it taught her.
Lucky is adapted from Marissa Stapley’s 2021 novel of the same name. In the television version, the character becomes entangled in the aftermath of a multimillion-dollar heist and is pursued by both the FBI and organized criminals.
