Cinemas plan to show TV shows: Vue will soon screen hit Netflix series such as The Queen's Gambit instead of relying on traditional blockbuster films

A major cinema chain could soon show hit Netflix series such as Queen's Gambit instead of relying on traditional blockbuster films.

Vue, the third-largest chain in the UK with 90 venues, also aims to host big video games events and show more live sports such as Premier League football.

Chief executive Tim Richards said the lines between the film industry and home entertainment were becoming more blurred.

He told the MoS: 'We are in conversations with content producers on all their feature-length films and shows – we are talking to everyone, because there is a demand for high-quality feature film and TV at a cinema.
