Logan Lerman and Joey King on Why They Joined Their New World War II Series 'We Were the Lucky Ones'


The series premieres on Hulu on March 28.

Logan Lerman and Joey King say they felt compelled to join their new show, We Were the Lucky Ones, based on their own experiences as individuals who have family members who escaped the Holocaust. On Friday, the actors appeared onstage at a Television Critics Association panel and opened up about what led them to the World War II story rife with heartbreak, hate and hope. King and Lerman -- who previously worked together on the 2022 film Bullet Train-- are both Jewish and said that telling these "personal" stories becomes more and more important as the years pass, especially when they are told from the point of view of those who were oppressed.
