Get ready for your next must-watch period drama! Amazon Prime is bringing the heat with their upcoming alt-fantasy series, "My Lady Jane", set in Tudor-era England. Following the success of Netflix's "Bridgerton", it's clear that audiences can't get enough of steamy scenes and alternate universe historical dramas based on popular books.
Based on the beloved novels by Cynthia Hand, Brodie Ashton, and Jodi Meadows, "My Lady Jane" puts a unique spin on the tragic story of King Henry VII's granddaughter, Lady Jane Grey. Instead of focusing on her final days as Queen, the show imagines what her life could have been like if she had survived her execution.
Jane's life takes a surprising turn when her hand is sold to the mysterious nobleman Guildford Dudley. What starts as hatred soon turns to lust, and Jane finds herself caught up in a web of salacious affairs and hot encounters within the palace walls. But she's not the only one navigating the treacherous court, as she must also contend with conniving and overbearing noblemen like Lord Seymour and Lord Dudley.
The show's official synopsis promises an epic tale filled with true love, high adventure, regicidal maniacs, deadpan heroism, devious intrigues, swashbuckling swordfights, a touch of magic, and plenty of steamy moments. And from the exclusive first-look clip, it's clear that the show will deliver on its promises, with various couples, including a queer couple, locking lips and a steamy shower scene featuring Lady Jane and her future husband.
Fans are already buzzing with excitement for the show's premiere on June 27th. And with a star-studded cast that includes Rob Brydon, Emily Bader, and Anna Chancellor, it's no wonder that everyone is eagerly awaiting its release. This female-empowered, modern-inspired, historical retelling is just the latest in a trend that includes popular shows like "Bridgerton", "Six", "Dickinson", and "The Buccaneers".
In a 2018 interview, author Cynthia Hand spoke about her inspiration for reclaiming Jane's story and giving her a different ending. As a strong-willed, bookish teenage girl in 16th-century England, Jane's tragic fate always bothered Hand. So as a writer, she took it upon herself to give Jane a new and empowering ending.
If you're ready for your next historical drama fix, mark your calendars for June 27th when "My Lady Jane" arrives on Amazon Prime Video. And for those who can't get enough, "Bridgerton" is currently available to stream on Netflix. Have a story to share? The entertainment team at The Agency would love to hear from you!
