'My Lady Jane': A Fantastical Reimagining of England's Shortest-Reigning Queen

Prime Video's new series blends historical events with fantasy elements to retell the story of Lady Jane Grey.

  • Lady Jane Grey, known as the 'Nine-Day Queen,' briefly ruled England in 1553 before being deposed by Mary Tudor.
  • The show is based on a 2016 young adult fantasy novel that alters historical events with magical elements like shape-shifters.
  • Jane Grey is portrayed as a witty and intellectual teenager who dreams of writing her own book.
  • The series explores political intrigue and religious conflict, reimagined as a struggle between humans and shape-shifters.
  • While taking creative liberties, the show maintains the essence of Jane's spirit and the era's historical context.
