The news of Amazon Prime Video's cancellation of "My Lady Jane" has left fans heartbroken. The show, which starred Emily Bader as Lady Jane Grey and Edward Bluemel as Lord Guildford Dudley, was a lavish and exciting alternate history series that blended romance, fantasy, and comedy. It followed the life of Lady Jane Grey, asking the question "What if she had never been beheaded?" and exploring her rise to power as Queen of England.
One of the main conflicts in the series was between Lady Jane and her cousin Mary over the crown. They also clashed over their differing approaches to the Ethians, a marginalized group of people who could transform into animals but were rejected by high society. Along with the talented cast, including Rob Brydon, Dominic Cooper, and Jim Broadbent, the show was based on a popular series of Young Adult novels by Gemma Burgess.
Despite receiving positive reviews and being described as "joyously bananas" by The Guardian and "one of the best shows of 2024" by Forbes, the series failed to attract the desired viewership and was not renewed for a second season. This sudden cancellation has left fans devastated, as they were hoping to see a resolution to Lady Jane's story.
As the news broke on Saturday morning, fans took to social media to express their disappointment. Many couldn't believe that such a fun, whimsical, and romantic show would be cancelled, with one fan exclaiming, "they just hate fun, hate whimsy, hate historical romance with an emphasis on drama, hate enemies to lovers where one of them is a literal horse, hate silliness!" Others shared their sadness and disbelief, with one fan saying, "I can't stop thinking about My Lady Jane being cancelled, this is my worst fear come true."
The show had captivated viewers with its steamy romance and enemies-to-lovers dynamic between Lady Jane and Lord Guildford Dudley. The pair had sizzling chemistry, and their flirtatious banter kept fans on the edge of their seats. In the fifth episode, their sexual tension finally boiled over, leading to a steamy scene set to the song "Wet Dream" by Wet Leg. Sadly, fans may never get to see the resolution of their story, as the show ended on a cliffhanger.
Despite the cancellation, there is a silver lining. Lady Jane and Lord Guildford Dudley, much like the series itself, may have had a short reign, but at least they got their happily ever after. As the narrator announced at the end of the season, "our story is not over yet." And while the show may not continue, fans can still watch the first season on Amazon Prime Video and imagine where the story could have gone.
In the end, the abrupt ending of "My Lady Jane" leaves a bittersweet feeling. While fans may never see the resolution of the story or the comeuppance of the villainous Lord Seymour, they can take comfort in knowing that Lady Jane and Lord Guildford Dudley's love story ended on a high note. And who knows, maybe in the future, we'll get to see a continuation of their story. But for now, "My Lady Jane" will live on in the hearts of its fans and on Amazon Prime Video.
