Hulu's We Were the Lucky Ones: Logan Lerman cast in upcoming limited series

An adaptation based on Georgia Hunter’s 2017 novel of the same name, We Were the Lucky Ones is set to feature Logan Lerman along with Joey King, reported Variety.

Inspired by true events, the series is based on the bestseller novel about a Polish Jewish family separated at the start of WWII, determined to survive and reunite. Lerman plays Addy, the middle child, who is 25 years old at the start of the war. He is an adventurer who lives in Paris as an engineer while also enjoying budding success as a music composer, and has an ability to find common ground with dissimilar people and a talent to fix anything.
