Watch My Lady Jane

My Lady Jane (2024), a comedic historical fantasy series from Amazon Studios, injects humor and wit into the well-known story of Lady Jane Grey, the reluctant queen of England for nine days. The show takes viewers on a whirlwind adventure through an alternate 16th century England, filled with pop culture references, anachronistic elements, and a whole lot of girl power.

A Headstrong Lady

The series centers around Lady Jane Grey (played by newcomer Emily Bader), a brilliant and independent young woman with a thirst for knowledge. Unlike the meek figure often portrayed in history, Jane in this version is outspoken and determined to carve her own path, much to the chagrin of her ambitious family.

An Unlikely Match

Jane's life takes an unexpected turn when she is betrothed to Lord Guildford Dudley (played by Edward Bluemel). While the match is politically motivated, a spark ignites between the two young people, leading to a surprisingly sweet and supportive romance.

A Brush with Destiny (and a Beheading)

When King Henry VIII's son, Edward VI, falls ill, Jane finds herself thrust onto the throne in a shocking turn of events. However, her reign is short-lived, as her cousin Mary Tudor (played by Anna Chancellor) challenges her claim to the crown. My Lady Jane doesn't shy away from the historical facts, but it injects a healthy dose of humor into the well-known story, making light of courtly intrigue and the absurdity of power struggles.
