What you need to know about The Queen’s Gambit season 2 release date and more

The Queen’s Gambit is the latest Netflix original series to outdo all expectations and quickly top the streaming service charts. The well-crafted period piece tells an enthralling story with some brilliant performances from its stellar cats, leaving many to wonder if The Queen’s Gambit season 2 will be the next move.

The riveting miniseries is based on Walter Tevis’ eponymous novel published in 1983 and follows a fictional Chess prodigy named Beth Harmon, played by The New Mutants and The Witch star Anya Taylor-Joy. It chronicles her journey from orphan to champion, telling the story of chess in a chillingly effective manner within a mind-bending narrative.

Subscribers and critics agree that the Netflix series is nothing short of a must-watch affair. While the show has been very well-received, the streaming powerhouse has yet announced any official plans for The Queen’s Gambit season 2.

But it’s still early days for the chillingly effective drama, and it is way too early to call “Checkmate” on this endeavor. There is still a chance that The Queen’s Gambit season 2 could occur a few moves down the line.

The Queen’s Gambit season 2 release date

There is no official release date for The Queen’s Gambit season 2 on Netflix, and we do not expect one to arrive anytime in the near future. The show is still waiting for an official renewal from Netflix.

There is a slim chance that if it does get the go-ahead that it could start production in late 2021, but it seems more plausible to expect something arriving in 2022 or 2023 if it is even to happen at all.

Considering they covered what was in the book, they would have to craft an entirely new story, and that is something no one wants to rush. If The Queen’s Gambit season 2 is in the cards, it won’t be out anytime soon.

The Queen’s Gambit season 2 cast

There has been nothing set in stone regarding the cast of The Queen’s Gambit season 2. But fans of the series have a pretty good idea who would return for the next chapter of the riveting Netflix original series.

Anya-Taylor Joy, who flawlessly plays Harmon, would have to come back for the next match, or fans would surely boycott the entire ordeal. The Glass actress has already indicated she would be interested in returning if given the opportunity when speaking with Town and Country.

"“If I’ve learned anything from being in this industry, it’s never say never… I adore the character, and I would certainly come back if I was asked to, but I do think we leave Beth in a good place.”"

So she is in if The Queen’s Gambit 2 is greenlit but is alright with the story ending where it did. And she isn’t the only one interested in another round as Harry Melling, who plays Harry Beltrik in the series, also revealed he isn’t opposed to the notion of another go.

"“It’d be good, right, a Queen’s Gambit part two? The place we end in the limited series is the place we end in the book. I don’t know if there can be another one, but stranger things have happened.”"

The Queen’s Gambit season 2 will most assuredly feature a slew of new and familiar faces if another installment is ever to occur.

The Queen’s Gambit season 2 synopsis

There is no official synopsis for The Queen’s Gambit season 2 and there most likely will not be one put out until much closer to the release date. Executive producer William Horberg told Town and Country that he loves the ending but feels there is a possibility of more to come.

"“We’ve had a lot of fun talking about what happens tomorrow. The last scene feels like a beautiful note to end the show on, so I’m not sure if we want to go on and answer that question. Maybe we can just let the audience imagine what comes next.”"

It will be interesting to see what they come up with for The Queen’s Gambit season 2 and if they can match the magic from the first season as well as the source material.
