Emily Bader Saves Her Own Kingdom in ‘My Lady

“What if history were different?!” Amazon’s Prime Video has revealed the official trailer for a series titled My Lady Jane, arriving for streaming in June this summer. It’s yet another of these spins on the damsel in distress trope by turning the ladies into the badass heroines who do the rescuing instead of being the one rescued (also see: Netflix’s Damsel). History’s most tragic heroines but re-imagined with an uplifting twist: the damsel in distress saves herself – and then the kingdom. This is adapted from the book of the same name about “The Lady Janies”. Emily Bader stars as Lady Jane Grey, with an ensemble cast featuring Edward Bluemel, Jordan Peters, Anna Chancellor, Dominic Cooper, Kate O’Flynn, Rob Brydon, Abbie Hern, Isabella Brownson, Will Keen. At the center of this swashbuckling new series is the brilliant and headstrong Jane, who is shocked to be crowned queen and then finds herself the target of nefarious villains coming for the crown (and her head)… My Lady Jane is an epic tale of true love and high adventure. This looks like a royally fun time! Nice rockin’ song for this trailer, too. If this sounds like your jam, check it out. // Continue Reading ›
