When We Were the Lucky Ones landed in my dear friend Tommy Kail’s hands, I knew it had found its home. “It was a discovery that changed my life, inspiring a decade-long journey to unearth and record my family’s story. “I’ll never forget the day, at 15 years old, I learned that I came from a family of Holocaust survivors,” said Hunter in a statement.

Hunter will co-executive produce along, Jennifer Todd will exec produce, and Kate Sullivan will produce. Joey King ( The Act) will star in the project that will be executive produced and written by Erica Lipez ( Julia, The Morning Show) and directed/EPed by Thomas Kail (F osse/Verdon). Hulu has ordered to series We Were the Lucky Ones, a limited series from Old 320 Sycamore and 20th Television that’s based on Georgia Hunter’s bestseller about a Jewish family separated at the start of WWII yet determined to reunite.
