What happens when a queen becomes a pawn to addiction? Netflix’s The Queen’s Gambit stars Anya Taylor-Joy as a brilliant, tortured woman intent on smashing competitive chess’ glass ceiling.
Based on the novel by Walter Tevis, the seven-episode limited series drama was co-created by two-time Academy Award nominee Scott Frank (Godless) and Allan Scott (Don’t Look Now), who are executive producers along with William Horberg (The Talented Mr. Ripley, Cold Mountain).
