My lady Jane finally has a premiere date. The alternate history series will debut on Prime Video in June, and the streaming service has released several first photos.
With Emily Bader, Edward Bluemel, Jordan Peters, Dominic Cooper, Rob Brydon, Will Keen, Anna Chancellor, Jim Broadbent, Kate O'Flynn, Isabella Brownso, Henry Ashton, Abbie Hern, Joe Klocek, Máiréad Tyers, Brandon Grace and Michael Werkoog , the My lady Jane series is based on the novel by Brodi Ashton, Jodi Meadows and Cynthia Hand and tells a very different story of British monarch Jane Grey, also known as the 'Nine Days' Queen'. In this version, King Henry VIII's son Edward does not die of tuberculosis, and Jane and her husband are not beheaded.
Prime Video revealed more about the upcoming series in a press release.
Prime Video has released the first images of My lady Jane, the smart, romantic new series set in an alt-fantasy Tudor world. Also announced: the series will premiere exclusively on Prime Video on Thursday June 27 in more than 240 countries and territories around the world.
Inspired by the best-selling book, My lady Jane is a radical retelling of English royal history, in which King Henry VIII's son Edward does not die of tuberculosis, Lady Jane Gray is not beheaded, and neither is her villainous husband Guildford. At the center of this riveting new series is the brilliant and headstrong Jane, who is unexpectedly crowned queen and finds herself the target of nefarious villains coming for the crown (and her head)… My lady Jane is an epic story of true love and adventure, where the damsel in distress saves herself, her true love and then the kingdom.
The cast is led by newcomer Emily Bader in the title role of Jane Grey. Playing opposite her is Edward Bluemel (Kill Eva) as Guildford Dudley. Jordan Peters (Pirates) plays King Edward.
Dominic Kuiper (Preacher) plays Lord Seymour, Anna Chancellor (Pennyworth) plays Jane's mother, Lady Frances Gray, and Rob Brydon (The journey) plays Lord Dudley, the father of Guildford. Jim Broadbent (The Duke) plays the Duke of Leicester, Jane's uncle.
Henry Ashton (Creation stories) plays Guildford's brother, Stan, and Isabella Brownson (Napoleon) and Robyn Betteridge (Wheel of Time) play Jane's sisters. Kate O'Flynn (Landscape architects) and Abbie Hern (Enola Holmes 2) portray the King's sisters Princess Mary and Princess Bess respectively.
Additional cast includes Máiréad Tyers (Exceptional)Joe Klocek (The dry)and Michael Workeye (This is gonna hurt).
Creator Gemma Burgess (Brooklyn girls trilogy) is co-showrunner/executive producer, Meredith Glynn (The boys) is co-showrunner/executive producer, Jamie Babbit (Only murders in the building) directs five of the eight episodes and produces director/executive producer, and Sarah Bradshaw (Citadel, The Mummy and HBO's upcoming The Hedge Knight) and Laurie MacDonald (The ring, Zorro, men in black, Gladiator) are executive producers.
