The Big Picture Between Bridgerton and The Buccaneers, historical romance is having its moment on streaming platforms, and there are no signs of it slowing down. The latest series to join their ranks in this genre is My Lady Jane, which recently premiered its first season Prime Video. Adapted from the book series of the same name, My Lady Jane retells its own version of Jane Grey , the original successor to King Edward VI , and her relationship with her husband, Lord Guildford Dudley .
My Lady Jane FantasyRomanceComedyHistorical My Lady Jane is a Prime Video original series created by Gemma Burgess. The story is a "what if" style story of English royal history where King Henry VIII's son Edward, Lady Jane Grey, and her husband Guildford all survive their real-life deaths. In the retelling of history, Jane Grey takes center stage, becoming queen and immediately finding herself facing nefarious villains.
The fantastical element of My Lady Jane allows the politics of this historical romance series to work. Other period romances that try to adapt to modern sensibilities get bogged down by their own semantics. Often, questions arise when certain modern elements get adapted while others don’t, which results in the series trapping itself with its own rules. Fantasy eliminates that barrier because it creates its own deviation from historical roots.
'My Lady Jane's Fantasy Elements Strengthen the Central Romance Close My Lady Jane is as much a romance as it is a historical fantasy. These two genres are never at odds; in fact, the fantasy elements of the series make the central romance between Jane Grey and Guildford Dudley that much stronger. After her arranged marriage to Guildford, Jane discovers that her new husband is, indeed, an Ethian.
