Sign in to your ScreenRant account Timothy Olyphant's new thriller series has proven itself a major streaming sensation, and it has just passed an important milestone on one of the biggest streamers. Olyphant has appeared in major franchises and smaller releases through the years, traversing a wide range of genres. He gave life to Cobb Vanth in The Mandalorian and more Star Wars releases, joining the biggest sci-fi movie franchise of all time in a Space Western setting that connected well with Olyphant's ties to Western TV shows. After all, the actor stars in Justified and Deadwood, two of the best Western series ever released. Olyphant's journey on TV has also found a lot of success across different genres. He showed up for a few episodes of the classic sitcom The Office, led the horror comedy series Santa Clarita Diet for three seasons, was key to a season of the hit crime anthology show Fargo, jumped into sci-fi with both Terminator Zero and Alien: Earth, and many more. Now, Olyphant's streaming domination continues with a new thriller series that has shown its worth on Apple TV. After all, the 7-episode thriller series Lucky has just hit an impressive streaming milestone on Apple TV nationwide. Timothy Olyphant's Lucky Can't Be Stopped On Apple TV The crime thriller series Lucky debuted on Apple TV on July 15 with a two-episode premiere, airing what was left of its seven episodes weekly. The new show concluded on August 19, but it has continued to trend on the streamer. To that end, Lucky has just crossed the milestone of 60 days on Apple TV's Top 10 TV Shows chart in the United States. The feat is quite impressive, as Apple TV's new thriller series has just managed to achieve that record close to one month after Lucky's season finale was released. Subscribers are still watching the show despite no new episodes being released. At 60 days, Lucky finds itself as the 8th most-watched TV show on Apple TV in the United States. Olyphant's new thriller series leaves behind Jon Hamm's crime show Your Friends & Neighbors, which returned for season 2 on April 3, and concluded on June 5, and the comedy Trying, which came back for season 5 on July 8 and aired its latest episode on Apple TV on August 26. Apple TV's Top 10 TV Shows chart in the US is filled with other series that released new seasons in 2026, including shows like Ted Lasso, Silo, Dark Matter, and more.

Before the thriller series debuted, the actor had already seen projects like the thriller movie Over Your Dead Body skyrocket on Prime Video worldwide, with the drama series The Five-Star Weekend having just passed one month at Amazon's Top 25 TV Shows chart in the US, and more. Olyphant is likely to be part of a new Netflix #1 movie before the year is over, as David Fincher and Brad Pitt's The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth arrives on December 23, taking over from Lucky's success.
