Answer
Marissa Stapley
Apple TV’s Lucky adapts the novel Lucky by Marissa Stapley.
Stapley’s novel, published in 2021, follows Luciana “Lucky” Armstrong, a talented grifter whose criminal past catches up with her after a major heist. The story explores family secrets, deception, punishment, redemption, and the possibility of changing one’s life.
The television adaptation was developed by Jonathan Tropper for Apple TV and stars Anya Taylor-Joy as Lucky. Reese Witherspoon is among the series’ executive producers. The adaptation keeps the novel’s crime-thriller foundation while expanding its world for television.
A common mix-up is confusing the author with the adaptation’s creators or producers. Jonathan Tropper created the series, while Marissa Stapley wrote the source novel. The other listed names are novelists, but none wrote Lucky.
