When TheQueensGambit was a new show on Netflix, not the phenomenon that earned 18 Emmy nominations, the cast of the series spoke to THR about what drew them to the project in the first place and the series’ profound message about choosing your own family
While Taylor-Joy plays a chess phenom in the miniseries, she and her fellow on-screen chess pros revealed that their chess knowledge before working on the project was limited.
“I knew how to play the game,” revealed Thomas Brodie Sangster, who plays chess champ Benny Watts. “I was aware of what each piece did. I used to play checkers when I was a child. It’s a similar board and then my mom bought me chess pieces, but that’s about it really. I knew what they all did, but I couldn’t formulate a game or think 10, 15 steps ahead of anyone.”
Taylor-Joy’s character Beth suffers the loss of her mother at a young age in the story and ends up in an orphanage. Throughout the series, she finds family in Jolene at the orphanage, her adopted mother Alma and friends she meets along the way. The cast opened up about the series’ profound message about choosing your own family.
