In her burgeoning career Anya Taylor-Joy has played many roles, an accused witch, a kidnapped teenager, Jane Austen heroine and mutant sorceress to name a few, and in The Queen's Gambit she plays an orphaned chess prodigy with an addiction problem.
The Netflix mini-series is based on the 1983 novel by Walter Tevis of the same name and follows 'Beth Harmon' from age eight to twenty-two, from the mid-1950s into the 1960s, in her quest to become the world's greatest chess player whilst struggling with emotional issues and drug and alcohol dependency.
