Two More Leads Cast in We Were the Lucky Ones Series

I’m thrilled to share the news that Robin Weigert and Lior Ashkenazi have been cast to play my great-grandparents in Hulu’s limited series of We Were the Lucky Ones. I couldn’t imagine more talented actors to play these two crucial roles of Nechuma and Sol, and I’m truly moved by their enthusiasm over getting to know the characters.
