Logan Lerman joins Joey King in 'We Were the Lucky Ones' limited series.
Percy Jackson star Logan Lerman is the latest actor to join the line-up for Hulu's We Were The Lucky Ones. The upcoming series is based on the 2017 novel, of the same title, by Georgia Hunter. The eight-episode limited series tells the story of a Jewish family who managed to survive the Holocaust but become tragically separated during World War 2. Desperately trying to survive the ruthlessness of the war, the family clings to the hope of reuniting again.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Crucially, We Were The Lucky Ones author Hunter is taking on the role of co-executive producer for the show. The novel has a deep-rooted link to Hunter's heritage after she found out that she is a descendant of Holocaust survivors. “I’ll never forget the day, at fifteen-years-old, I learned that I came from a family of Holocaust survivors,” she told Variety.
She added that when We Were the Lucky Ones landed in Kail’s hands, she knew the project had "found its home". "I couldn’t be more excited to partner with him, with our incredible showrunner, Erica Lopez, 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.”
