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 scoundrel of a husband Guildford. At the center of this swashbuckling new series is the brilliant and headstrong Jane, who is shocked to be crowned queen and 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.

Dominic Cooper plays Lord Seymour, Anna Chancellor plays Jane’s mother, Lady Frances Grey, and Rob Brydon plays Lord Dudley, Guildford’s father. Jim Broadbent is the Duke of Leicester, Jane’s uncle.
Additionally, Henry Ashton plays Guildford’s brother, Stan, and Isabella Brownson and Robyn Betteridge play Jane’s sisters. Kate O’Flynn and Abbie Hern portray theKing’s sisters, Princess Mary and Princess Bess. Máiréad Tyers, Joe Klocek and Michael Workeye also star.
