As a devoted admirer of captivating performances, Anya Taylor-Joy has undeniably left a lasting impression on me with her mesmerizing portrayal as Beth Harmon in The Queen’s Gambit. Ever since then, I’ve been eagerly following her career moves, and she certainly hasn’t disappointed! Her latest ventures into feature films like The Menu, The Super Mario Bros. Movie, Dune: Part Two, and Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga have only solidified my admiration for this multitalented actress.

Anya Taylor-Joy is truly delightful to observe. She captured my heart in her breakout role as Beth Harmon from Netflix’s “The Queen’s Gambit,” and since then, I’ve kept tabs on her acting career. In fact, I’ve gone back to explore other projects she’s been a part of, such as “Peaky Blinders.

Ever since her acclaimed role in “The Queen’s Gambit” in 2020, Anya Taylor-Joy has been dedicating her talents primarily to feature films such as “The Menu”, providing the voice for Princess Peach in “The Super Mario Bros. Movie”, “Dune: Part Two”, and “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga”. Taylor-Joy is amassing quite an impressive portfolio, and she’s not stopping there! This time, she’s returning to television screens.

By the stipulated date, Taylor-Joy is slated to reappear on television through a limited series titled “Lucky” exclusively on Apple TV+. Filming for this project will likely commence in the spring of 2025. Taylor-Joy will be serving as an executive producer, working alongside Reese Witherspoon who is involved through her production company Hello Sunshine. The series is adapted from a book with the same name written by Marissa Stapley, and it was one of Witherspoon’s picks from her Book Club. Here’s a brief summary of the show provided by the news outlet below:

The story revolves around a woman named Taylor-Joy, who abandoned her criminal past many years ago. However, circumstances force her to revert to her old ways, using her criminal skills one last time, as a desperate measure to free herself from her tainted history.

Previously this year, it was disclosed that Taylor-Joy will reappear on Netflix in the 8-episode series, How to Eliminate Your Family. Indeed, as the title suggests! For more information about the show, click here. The actress has an aptitude for selecting captivating and multifaceted roles, and she infuses each character with a unique and alluring vitality. Therefore, I am eagerly awaiting her performance in this upcoming series!

If you’re fond of Netflix series, you’d agree that it often takes the platform quite some time to produce and launch its shows. As for “How to Kill Your Family”, it’s unclear if filming has begun yet. However, with Apple TV+’s “Lucky” aiming for a spring production start, I have a feeling this project might progress more swiftly.

So, we mentioned that Taylor-Joy is making her comeback to television after The Queen’s Gambit, with the upcoming series called Lucky. I have a feeling this one might premiere first. Of course, only time will tell. Netflix doesn’t seem to be in a hurry, but I can’t wait to see Taylor-Joy back on our TV screens! I’ll be watching and supporting both shows either way!
