Social media posts claiming Netflix's The Queen's Gambit is returning for a second season have gone viral in the last months. Sadly, they are false.
"The Queens Gambit Season 2 coming soon!" claimed a post from the Facebook group Netflix Daily Updates. At the time of writing, the post has received more than 282,000 likes and 20,600 comments. Another post making the same claim, coming from Netflix Daily Memes on August 20, has 238,000 likes and 20,500 comments. A more recent post from Netflix Community on September 1 has received 107,000 likes and 3,200 comments to date. An X/Twitter fan account dedicated to the show also consistently shares the claims.
Hundreds of thousands of people have engaged with excitement in posts on Facebook and X/Twitter with the same claim in the last months. A majority of them are responding along the lines of "Can't wait!!!" and "YESSS!!!!".
Fans of the hit series who got their hopes up are in for a disappointment. Another season is just not happening. All the posts are completely false.
Scott Frank, the Director and Writer of the series, responded to speculation about another season in September 2021, and explained why it's a no-go.
"I'm so sorry. I hate disappointing anyone, but no. I feel like we told the story we wanted to tell, and I worry—let me put it differently—I’m terrified that if we try to tell more, we would ruin what we’ve already told," he told Deadline.
