EXCLUSIVE: Hulu’s We Were the Lucky Ones is adding Amit Rahav, Eva Feiler and Hadas Yaron in series regular roles.

Rahav (Unorthodox, the upcoming Transatlantic) will star as Jakob in the limited series. The youngest of his brothers, Jakob is a photographer. Sweet and soulful, there is hardly anywhere he’d rather be than beside his high school sweetheart, Bella (Eva Feiler), or peering down through the viewfinder of his camera. Rahav is repped by Lighthouse Management + Media, ADD Content Agency and Ziffren.

Feiler (The Crown) will star as Bella, who is deeply engrained in the fabric of the Kurc family and is Jakob’s (Amit Rahav) long-time love.

Yaron is repped by Olivia Bell Management in London.
