‘My Lady Jane’ first look teases Dominic Cooper and Rob Brydon in Tudor rom-com

Amazon’s Prime Video is sending us to an alternate fantasy Tudor world with a first look at new series, My Lady Jane.

Inspired by the best-selling book, My Lady Jane is a radical retelling of English royal history, in which King Henry VIII’s son Edward does not die of tuberculosis, Lady Jane Grey is not beheaded, and neither is her rascal of a husband, Guildford Dudley.

At the centre of this new series is the brilliant and headstrong Jane (newcomer Emily Bader) who is unexpectedly crowned queen overnight and finds herself the target of nefarious villains coming for the crown (and her head).

Killing Eve and Sex Education star Edward Bluemel will portray Guildford Dudley, and Jordan Peters (Pirates) will play King Edward.

The rest of the cast includes Dominic Cooper (Preacher) as Lord Seymour, Anna Chancellor (Pennyworth) as Jane’s mother, Lady Frances Grey, and Rob Brydon (The Trip) as Lord Dudley, Guildford’s father. Jim Broadbent (The Duke) as the Duke of Leicester, Jane’s uncle.

Henry Ashton (Creation Stories) plays Guildford’s brother, Stan, and Isabella Brownson (Napoleon) and Robyn Betteridge (Wheel of Time) play Jane’s sisters.

Rounding out the cast is Kate O’Flynn (Landscapers) and Abbie Hern (Enola Holmes 2) who portray the King’s sisters Princess Mary and Princess Bess respectively.

My Lady Jane is an epic tale of true love and high adventure, where the damsel in distress saves herself, her true love, and then the Kingdom.

My Lady Jane will premiere exclusively on Prime Video on Thursday June 27th.
