Historical-themed series are currently trending, and their success isn’t limited to “Bridgerton.” Prime Video has just released “My Lady Jane,” a fresh adaptation of the tragic story of Lady Jane Grey, now trending worldwide.
In this show, rather than facing the tragic fate we know, the English noblewoman known as the “Nine Days’ Queen” avoids execution and lives a life filled with lighthearted romance and adventure.
The production also draws inspiration from historical events for its portrayal of relationships, as it includes Grey’s husband Lord Guildford Dudley, played by Edward Bluemel. Here, discover all about him.
