Many beloved movies and TV shows have been turned into successful stage musicals, and it seems The Queen’s Gambit is the next one in line. Level Forward is currently plotting a stage adaptation of the Walter Tevis novel this hit Netflix series was based on.

Level Forward CEO Adrienne Becker and producer Julia Dunetz recently confirmed they acquired the rights for the stage version of The Queen’s Gambit and said it’s a privilege to tell this story through the beloved and enduring craft of musical theater.

“Told through a brave and fresh point of view, audiences are already sharing in the friendship and fortitude of the story’s inspiring women who energize and sustain Beth Harmon’s journey and ultimate triumph,” said Becker and Dunetz in a joint statement.

The Queen’s Gambit centers on an orphaned chess prodigy with a substance abuse problem as she rises through the ranks of the male-dominated chess world. The mini-series premiered to rave reviews and recently won Golden Globe awards for the best-limited series and best actress in limited series for its leading lady Anya Taylor-Joy.

Binge-watching new TV shows was our favorite pastime in 2020, and these five mini-series certainly kept us on our toes and made us wish they had more episodes.

The Queen’s Gambit

Netflix gave us many amazing new shows that found enormous success in 2020, but it doesn’t get any better than this epic tale of a young chess prodigy who tries to become the most formidable player in the world.

Normal People               

This Irish drama is one of the most realistic depictions of modern romance in recent memory, and that’s exactly the reason why so many people tuned in to watch Marianne and Connell fall in and out of love.

Mrs. America

This historical drama about Phyllis Schlafly’s fight against the Equal Rights Amendment movement during the 1970s had one of the most star-studded casts of 2020, and that alone makes it worth the watch.

Unorthodox

Based on Deborah Feldman’s autobiography, Netflix’s first series in Yiddish tracks the journey of a young ultra-Orthodox Jewish woman who decides to flee her arranged marriage and start a new life in Germany.

Little Fires Everywhere

At a time when we all needed an addictive new show to be excited about, this intertwined tale of two families set in the opulent neighborhood of Shaker Heights gave us just that.

The Queen’s Gambit is the latest Netflix series that’s got everyone talking and its viewership numbers reflect its huge popularity. The streaming giant reported the chess drama is its biggest scripted limited series to date, with 62 million households tuning in to watch in less than a month.

Peter Friedlander, Netflix’s vice president of original series, praised the director and writer Scott Frank for bringing this critically acclaimed period drama to life with his talented cast and crew.

“It’s a true testament to Scott’s skill as a writer and filmmaker that he was able to bring the drama and detail of the many chess matches to life on camera. Scott also had tremendous help from the series’ talented crafts team,” said Friedlander in a statement.

The Queen’s Gambit stars Anya Taylor-Joy as the fictional chess prodigy Beth Harmon, as she tries to establish herself as the world’s best chess player while straggling with addiction and childhood trauma. The critically acclaimed series premiered on Netflix on October 23rd, and its cast also includes Bill Camp, Thomas Brodie-Sangster, Moses Ingram, Harry Melling, and Marielle Heller.
