Lady Jane Grey is one of the more tragic Tudor-era stories (read about the real Lady Jane Grey below), so Prime Video got a little reimaginative with the riveting My Lady Jane.
The entire 8-episode arc is a joy to watch, filled with betrayal, daring exploits, high-stakes drama, and a fantasy element involving Ethians, people who can transform into animals. These Ethians are oppressed and outcast by the Verity, normal humans who rule everything and harbor bigoted opinions about their sometimes furry counterparts.
Plus, it’s got tropes like enemies to lovers, marriage of convenience, forbidden love and more.

Already as obsessed as we are? Well, from the real-life story to the cast, here’s everything we know so far about My Lady Jane.
The real Lady Jane Grey, a great-niece of Henry VIII, was born in Bradgate, Leicestershire, England, in 1537.
In My Lady Jane, she is depicted as an intellectually curious teenager, which is similar to the historical Jane, who loved languages and theology.
The show fictionalizes her marriage to Guilford Dudley, portraying them as falling in love, while historically, Jane was opposed to the marriage. The Duke of Northumberland arranged the marriage to secure his son’s position when Jane ascended the throne, persuading a dying Edward VI to name her his heir.
