We Were the Lucky Ones (Season 1)

We Were the Lucky Ones (2024) is a Hulu miniseries to watch online on iFILM — eight episodes based on Georgia Hunter's bestselling novel. A Polish Jewish family, the Kupers, is scattered across Europe the moment the borders close in 1939. Thomas Kail directs; Joey King and Logan Lerman head the cast.

One sibling ends up in France, another under Soviet occupation, others stay in occupied Poland. For years, none of them knows whether the rest are alive. Each thread of the story follows a different member through entirely different circumstances, with different dangers and different odds.

Hunter spent over a decade piecing together her own family's real history from declassified records and surviving correspondence. The series earns its emotional weight without leaning on it. Stream all episodes of We Were the Lucky Ones online on iFILM.
