It’s almost time for another period drama based on World War II history. We Were the Lucky Ones stars Joey King and Logan Lerman as two members of the same family separated in the war.
They are in a dangerous situation. The family is Polish Jews, and as the Nazis come into the country, they know that they are all in trouble. They need to get out of the country, with one of them already in Nazi-Occupied Paris pretending to be a Gentile. The whole family is separated, with the hope of reuniting after the War.
We Were the Lucky Ones is based on the book by Georgia Hunter. It is based on her own family history during World War II. This is not a series you will want to miss, and the first three episodes drop on Thursday, March 28 on Hulu.
