In her speech after her big win, Anya Taylor-Joy, who won Best Actress in a Limiter Series for The Queen’s Gambit, teased fans with season 2.“It is obviously incredibly flattering that people want to spend more time with characters that we care so much about and that we poured so much love into,” she said, also adding, “but we did intend it to be a limited series, so we were all quite surprised when people started asking for Season 2. That being said, never say never.”
