The eagerly anticipated soundtrack for Apple TV+'s new thriller series 'Lucky' has been released, offering viewers a comprehensive list of the songs featured in the show's initial episodes. The series, which premiered on July 15, 2026, stars Anya Taylor-Joy as a cunning international con artist forced to flee after a major heist goes awry. The musical selections span a wide range of genres and eras, contributing significantly to the series' suspenseful atmosphere.
The original score for 'Lucky' was composed by Isabella Summers, better known as Isa Machine from the acclaimed band Florence + The Machine. Her atmospheric compositions are complemented by a carefully curated selection of 'needle drop' tracks. These include iconic artists such as David Bowie and Roy Orbison, alongside more contemporary acts like Savages and Sleater-Kinney, creating a diverse soundscape for the high-octane drama.
A notable highlight is the opening theme, 'Horns Of A Bull', an unsettling, piano-backed track performed by Fiona Apple. This distinctive song plays at the beginning of every episode and was co-produced by Apple herself with her drummer, Amy Aileen Wood. The series, adapted from Marissa Stapley’s 2021 novel, sees Taylor-Joy's character pursued by formidable figures including FBI agents Billie Rand (Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor) and Eli Gates (Mo McRae), as well as ruthless crime boss Priscilla, played by Annette Bening.
The first three episodes feature a compelling mix of tracks. Episode One, 'No Shortcuts', includes Fred again.. and Delilah Montagu's 'Delilah (pull me out of this)', Roy Orbison's classic 'In Dreams', Zola Jesus' 'Lost', Suicidal Tendencies' 'Cyco Vision', and Sleater-Kinney's 'Hunt You Down'. Episode Two, 'Make 'Em Dance', showcases David Bowie's 'Modern Love', Fiona Apple's 'Horns Of A Bull', Red Johnson's 'I'd Rain All Over You', and The Mysterines' 'Goodbye Sunshine'.
The third episode, 'Read The Room', continues the eclectic mix with Finom's 'Mine', Alison Goldfrapp's 'Strange Things Happen', Siouxsie's 'Into A Swan', and Savages' 'She Will'. The series, created by 'Your Friends & Neighbors' showrunner Jonathan Tropper and co-written with Cassie Pappas, launched with its first two episodes on July 15, with the remaining five arriving weekly, promising more musical surprises as the plot unfolds.
