When Do New Episodes of We Were the Lucky Ones Come Out?
Based on the book of the same name by Georgia Hunter—itself inspired by the author’s ancestors—Hulu’s We Were the Lucky Ones plants audiences in a visceral tale of love and destruction in the time of the Holocaust, as experienced by members of a Jewish family known as the Kurcs. Created by Erica Lipez, co-produced by Hunter, and directed by Thomas Kail with an ensemble cast including Logan Lerman and Joey King, the limited series spans nine years and four continents.
“I am a Jewish woman and I’ve always wanted to do something in the historical space and [Kail] brought me the book,” Lipez told ELLE.com in an exclusive first look. “As someone who felt like they had a good education about the Holocaust, I felt like I was seeing stories about that period of time I had never seen before through this family.”
Each of the series’ eight episodes is named for a place where a Kurc family member must flee after the Nazi invasion of Poland. “Our production designer and team built a massive back lot in Bucharest that was this maze of buildings that became three different cities in Poland,” Lipez said. “The show goes to a lot of places.”
