An Apple TV limited series that filmed scenes in Long Beach, including a dramatic car chase downtown, released its first episode today.<\/p>\n

\u201cLucky\u201d \u2014 based on the bestselling novel of the same name \u2014 stars Anya Taylor-Joy as Luciana \u201cLucky\u201d Armstrong, a reformed criminal who\u2019s on the run after being forced to confront her past, according to the show\u2019s synopsis. Lucky must complete one final job \u201cto secure her freedom and leave her former life behind for good.\u201d<\/p>\n

Film permits obtained by the Long Beach Post revealed that the show shot scenes at nearly a dozen locations throughout the city.<\/p>\n

In April and May last year, crews filmed multiple scenes<\/a> along the Promenade between Third and Fifth streets, at the Long Beach Airport, the Golden Sails Hotel and at the International Tower condos on East Ocean Boulevard near Shoreline Drive.<\/p>\n

The show\u2019s trailer<\/a> contains a quick clip of a dramatic car chase filmed along Fourth Street near The Promenade. That day, multiple \u201cSan Diego Police Department\u201d vehicles were used for filming and parked nearby.<\/p>\n

Crews also put up fake signs on vacant storefronts along Fifth Street, sparking speculation online about the project.<\/a><\/p>\n
