It looks like the damsel is in distress again as Prime Video has decided not to renew its historical fantasy rom-com drama series My Lady Jane for a second season. Season 1 of My Lady Jane was released with all of its episodes and little to no promotion on Prime Video on June 27, and while the streaming platform has opted not to continue the series, the fans have already started a petition to save the series.
Based on a 2016 novel of the same name by authors Jodi Meadows, Brodi Ashton, and Cynthia Hand, the reimagining of Lady Jane Grey is adapted for television by Gemma Burgess, who also serves as co-showrunner with Meredith Glynn.
My Lady Jane is set in an alternate 16th century England and it follows the story of Lady Jane Grey as she is forced to marry Lord Guildford Dudley. Lady Jane is a cousin to Edward VI, which puts her in line to the throne. When she unexpectedly finds herself crowned Queen, she becomes a target for people who have their eyes on the throne. My Lady Jane wasn’t a miniseries as the witty narrator pointed out at the end of Season 1 saying that, “our story is not over yet,” but until some other network or streaming service picks up the series for a follow-up season it sure seems like it is.
