About this listen

 Anya Taylor-Joy continues to fascinate audiences both on and off the screen with a whirlwind of activity these past few days. The biggest headline is her casting in the new Netflix series adaptation of Bella Mackie’s bestselling novel How to Kill Your Family. Announced at the Edinburgh TV Festival, Anya will star as Grace Bernard, a woman driven by trauma and family rejection to a darkly comedic revenge spree. This project reunites Anya with Netflix, the same platform that gave her career-defining role in The Queen’s Gambit, and signals another potentially iconic performance according to Variety Film + TV.

Fans were sent into a frenzy by a mysterious tweet hinting at a possible Queen’s Gambit season 2—but Anya quickly set the record straight via Instagram Stories, explaining her Twitter account was hacked and apologizing for any confusion as reported by Indiewire. She has not tweeted herself since the original show’s Emmy-winning run, making this social media moment a reminder of just how eagerly fans await her next big move.

Anya also made a sparkling public appearance with her husband Malcolm McRae at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, celebrating Tiffany & Co’s latest Blue Book collection. She channeled a modern-day Audrey Hepburn in a sleek black sequined gown, dazzling diamond jewelry, and a perfectly braided updo. The style authority was on full display, reinforcing her influence in fashion as detailed by Hearst’s Yahoo report.

On the style front, she turned heads at the Hungary Grand Prix Formula 1 event in Budapest, debuting the multi-scarf trend in a head-turning vintage ensemble, complete with braided hair and iconic sunglasses. Attending alongside Malcolm McRae, the couple’s low-key yet chic presence continues to draw admiration.

In career rumors, insider Jeff Sneider reports Anya is being considered for the same major role as Meryl Streep in an undisclosed project. While exciting, these discussions are unconfirmed and details remain speculative for now.

Lastly, Anya’s personal story continues to inspire. Recent profiles highlight her resilience and the personal struggles she shares with her roles, notably her parallel to Beth from The Queen’s Gambit in overcoming early hardships, bullying, and finding solace in her passion for acting, as explored by Culturs Magazine and ET Canada.
