In its reveal of “The Most Anticipated TV Shows in March 2024,” Primetimer notes: “As unlikely as it sounds, We Were the Lucky Ones aims to be one of the more uplifting Holocaust dramas out there. Hulu’s adaptation of Georgia Hunter’s novel (itself inspired by the experience of Hunter’s grandfather) follows a Polish Jewish family as they fight to reunite after they’re separated at the onset of World War II. The subject matter is personal for stars Joey King and Logan Lerman, both of whom have family members who escaped Europe during the Holocaust, and they’re eager to bring awareness to the story of the courageous Kurc family, who maintained hope even in the darkest of circumstances.”
