The Queen's Gambit

The Queen's Gambit remains the most-watched Netflix limited series ever, a title that even #5 Bridgerton can't claim for its complete run. Anya Taylor-Joy's portrayal of chess prodigy Beth Harmon captivated 62 million households in its first 28 days, causing a global surge in chess participation and a 125% increase in chess board sales. The series also drove a 300% boost in membership on Chess.com, far exceeding the typical cultural impact of a Netflix miniseries by 5x the average engagement growth.
