Das Damengambit

Inhalt

Im Mittelpunkt von DAS DAMENGAMBIT steht Beth Harmon, eine junge Frau, die als Kind ein erstaunliches Talent für das Schachspiel entdeckt. Mit Hilfe des Hausmeisters des Waisenhauses, in dem sie zurückgelassen wurde, blüht ihre natürliche Begabung auf, obwohl sie zunehmend von den Beruhigungsmitteln abhängig wird, die der Staat den Kindern zur Verfügung stellt. Verfolgt von ihren persönlichen Dämonen und belastet mit der Gabe des Genies, navigiert Beth durch ihre soziale Unbeholfenheit unter Gleichaltrigen und ihr übermütiges Ego hinter einem Schachbrett. Angetrieben von einem Cocktail aus Drogen und Besessenheit, entwickelt sie sich zu einer beeindruckend geschickten und glamourösen Außenseiterin, die entschlossen ist, die traditionellen Grenzen in der von Männern dominierten Welt des Wettkampfschachs zu überwinden. Die Besetzung wird von Anya Taylor-Joy (Emma) als Beth Harmon angeführt und umfasst Thomas Brodie-Sangster (Godless), Bill Camp (The Night Of), Moses Ingram (Macbeth), Harry Melling (The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, The Old Guard), Marielle Heller (A Walk Among the Tombstones), Jacob Fortune-Lloyd (Medici ) und Marcin Dorocinski (Roza).

Die Serie wurde von Allan Scott (Don’t Look Now) und dem Oscar- und Emmy-nominierten Regisseur Scott Frank (Godless) mitentwickelt, der auch Regie führte und die Serie nach dem gleichnamigen Roman von Walter Tevis adaptierte. Allan Scott, Scott Frank und William Horberg (Der talentierte Mr. Ripley) fungieren als ausführende Produzenten. Scott Frank arbeitet wieder mit seinem Godless-Kameramann Steven Meizler, der Cutterin Michelle Tesoro und dem Emmy-prämierten Komponisten Carlos Rafael Rivera zusammen. Bei DAS DAMENGAMBIT arbeitet Frank zum ersten Mal mit dem Produktionsdesigner Uli Hanisch (Cloud Atlas), der Kostümbildnerin Gabriele Binder (Das Leben der Anderen) und dem Maskenbilder, Daniel Parker (Tschernobyl), zusammen.
