My Lady Jane premiered for Amazon Prime subscribers back in June of the 2024 TV schedule as a historical romance that packed in a lot more fantasy than viewers might have guessed from just the trailers. Based on the book of the same name by Jodi Meadows, the show was a fun romp set in an alternate version of Tudor England and ended the first season in a way that definitely left the door open for Season 2. Alas, that won't be happening, and the cancellation of My Lady Jane after one season reminded me of what the executive producers told CinemaBlend about their hopes for a future beyond the final credits of Season 1.
My Lady Jane Cancelled After One Season Prime Video cancelled My Lady Jane nearly two months after its June premiere, according to Deadline , after never earning a slot on Nielsen's Top 10 streaming rankings for originals. So, even though it was the talk of social media for a time , online buzz didn't necessarily translate to enough people watching the series. I do have to wonder if the show would have been received differently if the promotion had given away the twist.
The plot wasn't just a steamy period rom com based on a history in which Lady Jane Grey wasn't executed, which seemed to be the case based on the trailers . No, the main plot – spoiler alert if you haven't watched – centered on Ethians with their ability to transform into animals and the Verity ruling class. And Jane's love interest? A secret Ethian by the name of Guildford who couldn't control.
