The post was short. The actress wrote, “The Queen’s Gambit 2,” then deleted the message without comment.
It should be noted that back in 2021, the director of the series, Scott Frank, categorically denied the possibility of continuing, indicating that new seasons would only spoil the project. Anya Taylor-Joy has always had a different opinion on this matter. The series received rave reviews from critics and was approved by members of the chess community. The only negative moment was the reaction of the famous chess player Nona Gaprindashvili, who starred in the final series of the project, but the facts about her were distorted. As a result, the athlete even filed a lawsuit against the creators of the series.
But otherwise, the show has been a phenomenal success, with more than 62 million viewers in its first month and 11 Emmy Awards. Commenting on the success of the project, Anya Taylor-Joy said that she would be interested in seeing further development of her character. But two years ago, this was still the private opinion of the actress.
What is behind Anya Taylor-Joy’s post is still unclear. Fans do not rule out that the actress was only joking. Netflix representatives have yet to comment on the actress’s post.
