Joey King To Star In Hulu Limited Series, We Were the Lucky Ones

Joey King has landed a new role! The young actress is set to star in the upcoming limited series, We Were the Lucky Ones, based on the novel by Georgia Hunter.

According to Deadline, this new eight episode series will focus on “…a Jewish family separated at the start of WWII yet determined to reunite.” Joey spoke about joining the series in a recent press release stating, “I’ll never forget the day, at 15 years old, I learned that I came from a family of Holocaust survivors. It was a discovery that changed my life, inspiring a decade-long journey to unearth and record my family’s story. When We Were the Lucky Ones landed in my dear friend Tommy Kail’s hands, I knew it had found its home. I couldn’t be more excited to partner with him, with our incredible show runner, Erica Lipez, and with the amazing teams at Old 320, 20th and Hulu as we bring the story of my ancestors — and through it, the story of the Holocaust — to the screen.”

No word has been released on when production will begin. The series will premiere in the future on Hulu.
