MY LADY JANE - CATCHING UP WITH THE STARS AND CREATORS
/Are you ready for an epic tale of true love, high adventure, regicidal maniacs, deadpan heroism, devious intrigues, swashbuckling swordfights, a soupçon of magical realism and oodles of yearning, banter and undeniable chemistry? Of course you are. Welcome to My Lady Jane.
The new Prime Video period-piece series, My Lady Jane is set in the world of “what if.”
Inspired by the best-selling novel by Brodi Ashton, Cynthia Hand and Jodi Meadows, the comedic series explores an alternate history centering on Lady Jane Grey, the Tudor noblewoman who briefly claimed the English and Irish throne in 1553, a spell which earned her the nickname the 'Nine-Day Queen'.
Unlike Jane's very real beheading, in this story, the damsel in distress saves herself.
It stars newcomer Emily Bader as Jane and Edward Bluemel as her beloved, Lord Guilford Dudley.
Also starring in the series are veterans Rob Brydon (known of late for The Trip series of comic mockumentaries with Steve Coogan) as Guilfrod’s father John Dudley, the Duke of Northumberland, and Anna Chancellor as Jane’s mother Francis Grey, the Duchess of Suffolk.
I spoke with Rob Brydon, Anna Chancellor, Emily Bader, Edward Bluemel and Creator/Showrunner Gemma Burgess and Showrunner Meredith Glynnabout letting loose for this historical comedy.
All eight episodes of MY LADY JANE are now streaming on Prime Video
