A former con artist, one heist gone horribly wrong, and both the FBI and a crime boss on her tail — Apple TV+’s newest thriller has all the ingredients of appointment television. If you’re planning to keep up week by week, here’s exactly when every episode drops.
When Does Lucky Season 1 Release?
Lucky premiered on Wednesday, July 15, 2026, with two episodes dropping together to kick things off. From there, Apple TV+ settles into a weekly rhythm, releasing one new episode every Wednesday until the season finale lands on August 19, 2026. New episodes go live globally at midnight Pacific Time, so international fans can plan around a consistent worldwide drop.
Created by Jonathan Tropper and based on Marissa Stapley’s bestselling 2021 novel, the seven-episode limited series follows Lucky Armstrong, a former con artist whose latest heist spirals into chaos, forcing her to run from law enforcement and a dangerous crime boss while confronting the past she thought she’d left behind.

Who’s In the Cast
Anya Taylor-Joy leads the ensemble as Lucky, with Drew Starkey playing her husband Cary, who helps pull off the ill-fated heist. Annette Bening brings menace as ruthless mob boss Priscilla, while Timothy Olyphant plays Lucky’s morally questionable father, John. Rounding out the cast are Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor as FBI Agent Billie Rand, Clifton Collins Jr. as the intimidating henchman Dutch, and William Fichtner in a key supporting role.
Because the story is adapted from a single standalone novel, there’s no confirmed plan for a second season — this looks like a complete, self-contained story built for one satisfying run.
