\n Anya Taylor-Joy’s walking a treacherous path in Netflix’s limited series<\/a> The Queen<\/em>‘s Gambit <\/em>which arrives on the streamer Friday, October 23.<\/p>\n

Based on the novel by Walter Tevis, this drama is co-created by writer, director and showrunner Scott Frank (Godless<\/em>) and Allan Scott (Don’t Look Now<\/em>), both of whom serve as executive producers alongside William Horberg (Talented Mr. Ripley<\/em>). The Queen’s Gambit<\/em> tells a coming-of-age story that explores the cost of true genius.<\/p>\n

The show follows Beth Harmon (Anya Taylor-Joy), a young woman who was abandoned and entrusted to a Kentucky orphanage in the 1950s as a child. Along with discovering a talent for chess, Beth also develops an addiction to tranquilizers that were provided by the state as a sedative for children.<\/p>\n

Haunted by her own personal demons and fueled by obsession and narcotics, Beth will transform into a glamorous outcast who is determined to conquer the male-dominated world of competitive chess.<\/p>\n
