Executive producer William Horberg revealed a statement wherein he accepted the two Golden Globe nominations and made it abundantly clear that there will not be a second season. He said the following:
“It’s wonderful to know that people loved the show where they want to spend more time with these characters; we never envisioned it that way. We felt that the series had a satisfying endpoint and we’d allow the audience to fill in the space as to what happens next for Beth Harmon. Nothing has changed, despite fans demanding more on my Twitter feed. Scott and I feel really happy about the completeness of Beth’s story.”
In its first month, The Queen's Gambit was watched by 62 million viewers, which made it the best-watched limited series so far.
