Apple TV+ took to Instagram to tease the trailer, which shows a blood-stained Lucky gasping under the weight of a dead man lying on top of her.

The clip then cuts to a series of high-octane snippets that show Lucky thrust into increasingly dangerous situations as she makes “a series of bad decisions over an extended period of time”.
