Watch We Were The Lucky Ones Online: Synopsis

An incredible cast bring this heartrending Hulu Original series to life. We Were The Lucky Ones follows the tight-knit members of the Kurc family as their lives are forever altered by the Nazi invasion of Poland and the subsequent upheaval of WWII. Adapted from the New York Times’ bestseller from Georgia Hunter, this 8-part saga is a testament to family, faith, and the human spirit. Read our guide below for how to watch We Were The Lucky Ones online and from anywhere.

Although a work of historical fiction, We Were The Lucky Ones is grounded in the experience of the author’s own ancestors. Addy Kurc, for instance – who’s played by Hunters star Logan Lerman – is based on her own grandfather.

When the series begins, the Kurc family are enjoying Passover together in Radom, Poland. The financial and familial stability of siblings Halina (Joey King), Addy (Lerman), Genec, Jakub, and Mila, and their parents Sol (Lior Ashkenazi) and Nechuma (Robin Weigert), is enough for them to dismiss rumblings of war and antisemitic violence.

But when the German army marches into Poland, the Kurc family scatter across the globe – either fighting with the allied resistance, barely surviving in concentration camps, or seeking refuge in the United States – each going on wildly divergent journeys. As time passes and despite the dangers and intervening distance, they remain determined to find their way back to each other.

Described as a “heartening story of Holocaust survival” by Entertainment Weekly, and featuring a powerhouse performance by the Emmy-winning Joey King (The Act), We Were The Lucky Ones is a timely tale, and inspiring, breathtaking entertainment.
