Fiona Apple’s Music Opens Anya Taylor-Joy’s New Miniseries Lucky

Fiona Apple does not often loan her voice to television, which makes her presence in the upcoming miniseries Lucky quietly notable. Apple TV+ has confirmed that the singer’s music soundtracks the title sequence for the Anya Taylor-Joy–led thriller, based on Marissa Stapley’s 2021 novel. No official word yet on whether the track is newly recorded or pulled from Apple’s catalog — a deliberate ambiguity that suits an artist who moves on her own clock.

Taylor-Joy, speaking to Movieplayer.it, called Apple “the legend” and said the match was instinctive: “I wanted [the music] to be mostly female-centric and have kind of a rock edge to it. … I think her voice is a perfect description of this series. There’s a timbre and a rawness and a gravelliness that perfectly exemplifies the show.” Co-star Timothy Olyphant backed that up, recalling his first viewing: “When I saw the first episode, as soon as that title sequence broke in, I just remember this feeling of, ‘Oh, fuck yeah. This is going to be a great show.’ Like it just defined the whole show.”

The placement lands at a moment when Apple’s music is otherwise scarce on screen — her last known sync was for a 2020 Dickinson episode. That restraint adds weight here, signaling that Lucky is after a specific kind of friction, not just marquee names. The series premieres July 15.
