Shortly after its premiere, a popular streamer abruptly canceled the historical comedy-drama ‘My Lady Jane’. The eight-part series, which debuted on June 27 and had a promising plot and cast, could not draw a large audience. The drama, which starred Emily Bader in the lead role, reimagined the life of Lady Jane Grey, who, according to history, ruled England for just nine days before being killed.It’s interesting how the show retold her story, with Jane saving herself from death rather than being a damsel in distress. Regrettably, the series will not be continuing despite its favourable reviews.
Deadline claims that the cancellation wasn’t totally unexpected. Notwithstanding its distinct blend of comedy, adventure, fantasy, and historical romance, the program failed to draw in audiences and was never listed in Nielsen’s Top 10 streaming lists. Although the first season left open the possibility that the story was far from over, it will not be returning. It’s interesting to note that the plot kept viewers interested since Edward Bluemel’s Jane and Jane’s major character, Lord Guildford Dudley, had a satisfying happy ending.
Inspired by a book written by Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, and Jodi Meadows, ‘My Lady Jane’ is set in sixteenth-century England in a society where humans and shape-shifters coexist and people can change into animals or people. Jane Grey, played by Emily Bader, is a common person who goes by the name Verity. She grows to have a deep empathy for Ethians, who are shape-shifters. Those in positions of power start to worry about this and have plans to have her beheaded.
In addition to Edward Bluemel and Emily Bader, Rob Brydon, Jordan Peters, Kate O’Flynn, Abbie Hern, Henry Ashton, Dominic Cooper, and Jim Broadbent were among the cast members of ‘My Lady Jane’.
