This is a strict law of the series universe. While quality is essential, it doesn’t always take precedence in the eyes of managers when it comes to updating fiction—if not. My Lady Jane, released June 27 on Prime Video, paid the price. This adaptation of the novels by Cynthia Handy, Brody Ashton and Jodie Meadows was abruptly canceled after just one season.
the reason Although nothing has been confirmed, it is a safe bet that the audience did not live up to expectations. This retelling of the life of the former Queen of England, Jane Grey, has nevertheless captivated critics and the public. The series averages 4 out of 5 on AlloCiné.
The fan community excited about this first season isn’t going to stop there. There has been a movement in social networks for several days. Her name: “Save My Lady Jane”. Official website It was opened and the message is clear: “Has My Lady Jane been canceled for a second season? Oh dead end!“
wind of rebellion
“My Lady Jane, rated by Forbes as one of the best series of 2024, has been canceled by Prime Video just 7 weeks after its release.declares the text of the website. The decision, based on the series not attracting a large enough audience, was made before the production had a chance to reach its full potential..”
“The only series written for women on Prime Video, My Lady Jane is exactly what female viewers want and need. Stopping this story seems not only premature but also disappointingly unfair– say the fans. Join the rebellion and help yourself #SaveMyLadyJane“.
Suspicious methods of platforms
Although the tone is deliberately dramatic, this mobilization of fans and their questioning – rightfully so – calls into question the methods of the streaming giants. Does the series’ success have to be instant? Why not give the show more time to settle into viewers’ homes? Especially when the promotion is very cautious or non-existent.
In social networks, in particular X – formerly Twitter -, a hashtag dedicated to the movement centralizes all fan posts. Some of them even have thousands of likes. Will fan engagement convince another platform to save the series? Nothing is less certain.
My Lady Jane is (still) available on Prime Video.
