Anya Taylor-Joy Shocks Fans with Sleek New Bobbed Wig for 'Lucky'!

Anya Taylor-Joy showed off shock new look as she filmed new drama series Lucky in Los Angeles on Thursday

Scandalous Secrets and Sizzling Looks: Anya Taylor-Joy's New Drama Series "Lucky" is Heating Up!

Buckle up, folks! The highly anticipated drama series "Lucky," starring the breathtakingly beautiful Anya Taylor-Joy, has just stepped out in Los Angeles with a sizzling new look that's got everyone buzzing. The 29-year-old actress, known for her captivating performances in films like "The Queen's Gambit" and "Last Night In Soho," is trading in her signature long locks for a bold, bobbed wig.

But don't be fooled – this isn't the first time Anya has rocked a shorter hairstyle. Back in March, she was spotted sporting the same look while filming on set, but it's clear that this latest iteration is something special. Pairing her chic new 'do with a sleek leather jacket and black jeans, Anya looks like a total boss lady. And if you thought she was just there to take care of business, think again – she's also been spotted lugging around a large green backpack, takeout food, and coffee in tow.

The star stunned with the short hair, which is a dramatic difference from her usual long, blonde locks  but it's just a temporary change

But what really has us talking is the drama series itself. "Lucky" is based on the bestselling novel of the same name, which follows the titular character (Anya) as she tries to leave her life of crime behind, only to be forced back into the fray by a desperate attempt to escape her troubled past. With an all-star cast that includes Golden Globe winner Annette Bening and Oscar nominee Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor, this show is shaping up to be one wild ride.

And if you thought Anya's on-screen chemistry with co-star Drew Starkey (who plays her husband Cary) was just for show, think again. The two were spotted cosying up in first-look images earlier this year, and we can't help but wonder what secrets they might be hiding from the rest of us.

But don't worry – Anya's not the only one with a secret to share. As it turns out, the series has been embroiled in its own scandal: filming was originally set to take place in Las Vegas, but a push to bring production to Los Angeles amid the January wildfires led to a major change of plans.

Anya was photographed with the same bobbed hair in March, when it was definitely a wig worn for filming as she was later photographed again with her usual long locks off-set

As if all this wasn't enough, we've got an exclusive look at the star-studded cast list. In addition to Anya and Drew, "Lucky" boasts an impressive lineup that includes Annette Bening, Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor, and Timothy Olyphant. And with a team of talented writers and directors behind the scenes – including Golden Globe winner Jonathan Tropper and Cassie Pappas – we have a feeling this show is going to be something special.

But what really sets "Lucky" apart from other drama series is its commitment to representation and inclusivity. With Anya serving as an executive producer through her production banner Ladykiller, it's clear that she's dedicated to bringing this story to life with integrity and heart.

So mark your calendars, folks – "Lucky" is coming soon, and we can't wait to see what secrets this sizzling new drama has in store for us!
