The Queen’s Gambit star Anya Taylor-Joy reveals future of acclaimed Netflix show amid string of cancellations

THE Queen’s Gambit star Anya Taylor-Joy has confirmed if there will a season two of the Netflix show following a string of shocking cuts.

Fans of the hit historical-drama have been waiting patiently for an update on the second series.

In a now deleted Tweet, lead actress Anya taylor-Joy tweeted: “The Queen’s Gambit Season 2.”

This sent fans wild, as they believed this meant season two was approaching.

Sadly, the tweet was quickly deleted after 10 minutes – and fans of the show were left baffled.

But, now it looks like there won’t be a second instalment anytime soon.

Taking to Instagram stories to shut down the rumours of season two, Anya wrote: “My Twitter has been hacked. Apologies for all inconveniences. It’s not me!”

This comes after there’s been a string of shocking show cancellations by Netflix recently.

The Queen’s Gambit series finale sees her win at her career – becoming a world-famous chess player – and away from the board game, also beating her addiction demons.

Yet Miami-born Anya has teased at further plotlines for Beth, and told Deadline: “It’s so surreal and very wonderful that people want a second season, because we never thought about it, there was no discussion about it.

The Netflix series was one of the hits of lockdown and prompted a sudden interest in chess.

And it was also good for the 24-year-old star’s bank balance. Books filed for her firm Scarlett Joy Ltd show it has cash reserves of £645,412 for 2020 – that’s up from £148,477 in 2019.

She also handed over £97,300 to The Treasury in Corporation Tax meaning she earned more than £500,000 in the 12 months to the end of March 2020.

And Anya – who has British-Argentine-US citizenship – also won a Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Limited Series this month.
