As a seasoned gamer with a penchant for intriguing narratives and captivating performances, the news of Anya Taylor-Joy rejoining Netflix for “How to Kill Your Family” has me buzzing with anticipation! Four years after her stellar portrayal in The Queen’s Gambit, she’s diving headfirst into another engrossing tale, and I can hardly wait.


Award-winning actress Anya Taylor-Joy has been confirmed to collaborate once more with Netflix, this time for the television adaptation of “How to Kill Your Family,” a popular novel by Bella Mackie published last year. This is following a four-year gap since her notable role in Netflix’s critically acclaimed limited series titled The Queen’s Gambit.

“Immediately upon finishing the book, I felt compelled to contribute to its adaptation,” Taylor-Joy stated. “I tracked down the exceptional Bella Mackie and couldn’t be happier about working with the talented team led by Sally Woodward Gentle, Lizzie Rusbridger, and Emma. I can’t wait to dive even deeper into this project.”
