LuckyChap
LuckyChap Entertainment is Margot Robbie and Tom Ackerley's female-driven production company, now expanding into the U.K. and Europe through a landmark joint venture with Mediawan Group.
Current mandate
LuckyChap Entertainment, the production company founded by Margot Robbie, Tom Ackerley, and Josey McNamara, has built a reputation for championing distinctive, female-driven storytelling across film and television. The company's creative identity, described internally as its "signature DNA," centers on amplifying unique voices and bold material. That mandate is now entering a new phase: the launch of LuckyChap International, a majority-owned and controlled joint venture headquartered in London, with Mediawan Group holding a minority stake. The new entity will produce film and television projects across the U.K. and Europe, with a primary focus on television, and is designed to tap into unique voices working in those markets.
The company's current slate reflects both its established filmmaker relationships and its expanding ambitions. LuckyChap recently wrapped production on Megan Park's upcoming drama "Sterling Point," and has reunited with writer-director Emerald Fennell on her next film, "Wuthering Heights," continuing one of the company's most closely watched creative partnerships. On the international side, LuckyChap International is led by co-managing directors Mona Qureshi, formerly a director of scripted series at Netflix UK, and Tanya Qureshi, who most recently served as commissioning editor in drama at the BBC. The company has also recently expanded its television department stateside, with new leadership described as positioned to "unlock bold and exciting opportunities" for the TV slate.
Material reaches LuckyChap primarily through established filmmaker relationships, agency packaging, and producer partnerships. The company's reunion with Emerald Fennell on "Wuthering Heights" illustrates the filmmaker-attachment model that defines how projects enter the LuckyChap orbit. For the international arm, the Mediawan partnership adds a network of more than 80 production labels operating across 14 countries as a potential pipeline. No unsolicited pathway is documented for either the U.S. or international operations; every tracked project has arrived through a named filmmaker or established creative relationship.

No unsolicited pathway is documented for LuckyChap. Every project tracked in the company's history has arrived through an established filmmaker relationship, agency packaging, or a named creative partnership. The launch of LuckyChap International adds a London-based operation focused on U.K. and European voices, but again, no open submission process has been publicly announced for that arm either. The most realistic route in remains representation or a direct filmmaker attachment.
How does LuckyChap attach to or develop projects?
LuckyChap develops projects through filmmaker-led attachments and long-term creative relationships.
