What’s Coming to Netflix In October 2020, including ‘The Queen’s Gambit’ and ‘The Trial of the Chicago 7’

Netflix is offering several original dramas this month. One, based on Walter Tevis’ acclaimed novel “The Queen’s Gambit,” is about a chess prodigy and the high-stakes cerebral world of chess championships. It stars Anya Taylor-Joy and addresses everything from feminism to drug addition to the inner workings of a genius.

In October, Netflix will debut Aaron Sorkin’s “The Trial of the Chicago 7,” a true story that chronicles the arrest and trial of seven anti-Vietnam War protesters at the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago. It stars Sacha Baron Cohen and Eddie Redmayne.

Also coming this month is the return of a quarantine binge favorite, “Unsolved Mysteries” (Volume 2).
