My Lady Jane: Discover the Story of the Prime Video Series
In real life, Lady Jane was accused of treason after being crowned the new Queen of England and, months later, was executed. In this series, the narrative plays with the tragic fate of the character and decides to give her a new ending: countless adventures involving sword fights, lots of romance and sex.
The title is an adaptation of the book of the same name (written by Brodi Ashton, Cynthia Hand and Jodi Meadows) with a lot of epic fantasy and plot twists. In the story we meet Lady Jane, an intelligent girl who wants to take charge of her life, but who is forced by her mother to marry a man she does not love.
In her quest for independence, she will experience not only love but lust, and must learn to defend herself and the crown if she is to survive the day she ascends the throne. And if she becomes queen, how will she fight the ambitions and assassination attempts that come her way?
The series is available on Prime Video and has a total of eight episodes, each with an average duration of 50 minutes. The cast includes names such as Emily Bader, Guilford Dudley, Jordan Peters, Dominic Cooper, Anna Chancellor, Rob Brydon and many others.
Who was Lady Jane, the inspiration for the Prime Video series?
Better known as the “Nine Days Queen,” Lady Jane Grey was crowned Queen of England and Ireland for a brief period: from July 10, 1553 to July 19 of the same year. She ascended the throne after the death of the then king, Edward VI.
Jane was chosen to take over the crown on Edward VI’s deathbed and he made this wish official by writing her into his will. Angered, one of her half-sisters, Mary, enlisted the support of her supporters to seize power and sentenced Jane to imprisonment for high treason. Although her death was declared, months passed before it actually occurred.
Unfortunately, her father took part in a rebellion against the new queen, Mary, and that was the final straw: Jane’s execution was officially scheduled and carried out days later.
