No creative team nor timeline has been revealed yet.

There was already an unsuccessful musical about chess.

The Queen’s Gambit was my favorite television production of 2020, but I just don’t see the material adapting well to the stage. It’s a great story, but better suited to the page or to a close-up visual medium.
