What's Your Next Move After The Queen's Gambit? Here Are 10 Shows to Add to Your Queue

This lavish Netflix drama is all about the royals, but its luxe wardrobe isn't the only thing that it has in common with The Queen's Gambit. The first couple of seasons span across the same time frame in the '50s and '60s. More importantly, The Crown also depicts the interior lives of women in power, just as the chess miniseries captures Beth's inner world.

The Queen's Gambit cocreator Scott Frank previously worked on Godless with none other than Thomas Brodie-Sangster, aka chess cowboy Benny Watts. The series, a true-blue Western drama, follows a criminal outlaw as he seeks out a student-turned-traitor who now lives in a quiet town with only women.

Edgy and gritty like The Queen's Gambit, Peaky Blinders focuses on the misadventures of the English Shelby gang family (which is inspired by the real group from which the series borrows its name). Anya Taylor-Joy, who plays Beth, also portrays Gina Gray in season five.

Set in the '70s, Mrs. America takes place a little later than The Queen's Gambit, but it nonetheless shares a similar vintage aesthetic and wardrobe with the chess series. It follows the tense campaign for the Equal Rights Amendment as feminists fought to assert their presence, something Beth can probably relate to.

On Killing Eve, Eve Polastri (Sandra Oh) is an MI5 agent who plays a game of cat and mouse with the ruthless assassin Villanelle (Jodie Comer). Eve and Villanelle are probably as obsessed with their work (and each other) as Beth is with chess. Plus, there's plenty of gritty ambience and beautiful outfits (hello, Villanelle's pink dress!) to enjoy, too.

Looking for those understated, moody period-drama vibes? Mad Men is the classic just for you. It follows a team of morally ambiguous executives at an ad agency in the '60s. Like Beth, Peggy Olson and Joan Holloway can probably attest to what it's like to be women in a world dominated by men.

Just as there weren't many women in chess in the '50s, there weren't many women in standup comedy, either. A splash more colourful than The Queen's Gambit, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel depicts a familiar struggle through Rachel Brosnahan's character, Midge Maisel, a '50s housewife and mother who persistently pursues her knack for comedy.

Adapted from Gillian Flynn's twisty novel of the same name, HBO's Sharp Objects follows a journalist (Amy Adams) as she investigates murders in her small hometown. Besides being a dark psychological thriller, the series also grapples with issues such as family trauma and addiction that are explored in The Queen's Gambit.

There's no murder on The Queen's Gambit, but the Netflix chess drama is rightfully a prestige psychological piece, much like HBO's The Undoing, which follows a therapist as her husband is accused of murdering a parent at her son's ritzy school. The HBO series's moody lighting and Nicole Kidman's dazzling wardrobe may also strike the fancy of those who love the visuals on The Queen's Gambit.

Euphoria might have a totally different setting than The Queen's Gambit, but it explores pretty similar themes. While the HBO teen drama is set in more modern times, it takes a close look at adolescence and addiction, especially through the character of Rue.
