Behind-the-scenes 'Queen's Gambit' video answers all your questions about chess
Watch Next

If you can't get enough of The Queen's Gambit, you're in luck; Netflix just dropped a 14-minute video that takes a closer look at the creation of the coming-of-age period drama.

This behind-the-scenes feature is loaded with interviews from the show's director, chess advisor, hair and makeup artist, costume designer, cast members, set decorator, and more. It examines Beth Harmon's (Anya Taylor-Joy) fragile intelligence, growing addictions, and distinctive hair, clothing, and makeup looks as well as the elaborate places she visits. Did we mention that it also explains how the series went from a book to a miniseries?

Nice move, Netflix.

The Queen's Gambit is now streaming on Netflix.
