Prime Video Cancels My Lady Jane After One Season

As a devoted fan who has been following the captivating journey of Lady Jane Grey through the enchanting series “My Lady Jane,” I must admit that the sudden cancellation after just one season leaves me feeling like a medieval courtier watching my favorite queen fall from grace. The show, with its unique blend of history, fantasy, and comedy, had become a cherished gem in my TV collection.


The unique storytelling of “My Lady Jane” has drawn to a close. It’s been confirmed that the series, which premiered on Prime Video just two months ago, won’t continue for additional seasons. This decision was announced by Prime Video on Friday.

The series “My Lady Jane” is modeled after the 2016 novel with the same title written by Jodi Meadows, Brodi Ashton, and Cynthia Hand. Despite not making it to the Nielsen Top 10, the television show managed to gain a dedicated fanbase and received positive reviews from critics.

What Is My Lady Jane About?

In simple terms, “My Lady Jane” is a series that recounts the heartrending story of Lady Jane Grey (played by Emily Bader), who became Queen of England for just nine days before being beheaded in 1553. However, this retelling offers an alternative perspective on history, imagining how events could have unfolded if Lady Jane had taken charge of her own destiny. This gripping narrative combines elements of romance, action, comedy, and fantasy, set against a backdrop of adventure in an alternate reality filled with drama, intrigue, and humor. Hang on tight!

In addition to Amber Beattie in the title role of Lady Jane Grey, the ensemble of My Lady Jane features Edward Bluemel portraying Lord Guildford Dudley, Anna Chancellor as Lady Frances Grey, Rob Brydon acting as Lord Dudley, Jordan Peters taking on King Edward VI, Kate O’Flynn playing Princess Mary, Abbie Hern depicting Princess Bess, Henry Ashton in the role of Lord Stan Dudley, Dominic Cooper as Lord Seymour, and Jim Broadbent bringing the Duke of Leicester to life.

What Would My Lady Jane Season 2 Have Been About?

Though specifics about a possible second season of My Lady Jane were not clearly defined, the book collection does contain two additional volumes focusing on Jane Eyre from Jane Austen and Calamity Jane in the Wild West, as well as My Contrary Mary, a sequel about Mary Queen of Scots. The actors hinted at numerous opportunities for character development within Jane’s journey.

Speaking to Collider not long after the show’s premiere, Bader expressed his thoughts in these words: “Jane has faced numerous challenges, yet her decision to save herself at the end could potentially jeopardize her family. They remain steadfast with Crazy Mary. Jane must brace herself and strategize her next move. She carries a heavy sense of responsibility, and I believe she’s ready to show even more strength.”
