Although star Anya Taylor-Joy has poured cold water on claims of a Queen's Gambit season 2, a follow-up to the 2020 Netflix miniseries can still work – just without its previous lead. Based on the 1983 novel of the same name, The Queen's Gambit season 1 told the fictional story of chess prodigy Beth Harmon, her rise to the top of the international game, and her struggles with personal demons. Both a compelling character study and a riveting look into one of the world's oldest and most-revered games, The Queen's Gambit enthralled audiences all over the world and earned critical acclaim.
