Logan Lerman will star alongside Joey King in Hulu’s developing limited series “We Were the Lucky Ones,” based on Georgia Hunter’s best-selling novel, TheWrap has learned.
Lerman will portray Addy, a Polish and Jewish 25-year-old who lives in Paris as an engineer, but who also builds his musical composing career. Addy is the middle child in his family, and he is able to mediate conflict between people with differences. He is also very handy. The character of Addy is inspired by the story of Georgia Hunter’s grandfather as a young man in the late 1930’s.
The logline for the series reads: “Inspired by the incredible true story of one Jewish family separated at the start of World War II, determined to survive—and to reunite. Based on the New York Times Bestseller, “We Were the Lucky Ones” is a tribute to the triumph of hope and love against all odds.
