In 1553, the young Tudor nobelwoman, Lady Jane Grey, was Queen of England for only nine days and then beheaded. My Lady Jane rewrites history to be the way that it should have happened: the damsel in distress doesn’t need rescuing; she saves herself – and then her kingdom. This alternate history is a tale of true love mixed with fantasy and comedy. The series stars Emily Bader in the title role and Edward Bluemel as Lord Guildford Dudley.
